Leonardo da VinciInnovation Projects - European Priorities • Why the project was necessary?(needs addressed - problems solved): • There is a growing need in all partner countries to employ more staff in the field of child care. • Even though, the mobility of students in social and health care training has increased, to transfer the learning outcomes from one learning context to another is still a challenge. • There is a need to establish a transferable system for social, health care studies and mobility.
Leonardo da VinciInnovation Projects - European Priorities 4. How did the project do this? (process – implementation): • The aim of the project was to develop a study unit in child care, which can be accepted by partner institutes and can be transferred from one country to another. • The unit was defined according to learning outcomes in terms of knowledge, skills and competences. • The unit was tested with students in ongoing LdV mobility projects. Before testing and piloting the study unit a training programme was arranged for teachers and supervisors on how to use Ecvet.
