The overall objective is to promote the health of the population in the countries of the partner institutions by increasing the vaccination coverage and ultimately promote vaccinations worldwide. A specific objective is to develop a course on vaccination care which will enhance the quality and relevance of the learning about vaccinations and strengthen the knowledge, skills and attitudes of students on vaccination. Moreover, the project will foster each partner institutions’ internationalisation strategy by the mobility of staff and students.
In order to achieve this, the following activities will be carried out:
- Develop and test a web-based course (3 ECTS) for vaccination which will be available after its final version for international use.
- Develop and test learning material through the implementation of an Intensive Course (2 ECTS) for vaccination. This learning material (including simulation cases) will be available after its final version for international use.
- Disseminate the project results and material.
