The end of the year is always an occasion to look back and reflect.
2019 was a very successful year for bridges to europe. A year in which we learned from and shared with many of our now around 600 partner organisations in Europe, and developed innovative educational products in a total of 36 EU projects. Together, in these projects the team members of bridges to europe have spent almost a complete working year at partner meetings, trainings and international conferences abroad.
2020 will be very exciting, too. Next year will be devoted to preparations for the new EU funding programme period from 2021 onwards, with many new opportunities for participation and presumably significantly increased budgets. We will try to make use of these opportunities with an enlarged team and with you!
With this in mind, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a great start into a successful new year!
Auch 2020 wird sehr spannend. Das nächste Jahr wird im Zeichen der Vorbereitung auf die neue EU-Förderprogrammperiode ab 2021 stehen, mit vielen neuen Beteiligungschancen bei voraussichtlich deutlich erhöhten Budgets. Diese Möglichkeiten werden wir versuchen, mit verstärktem Team und mit Ihnen und euch gemeinsam zu nutzen!
At St.H, in Palermo and at Heliotec, in La Vall D’Uixo, the learners coming from Italy, Greece and Denmark improved their knowledge and competences on renewable energies through the expert guide of their company mentors. During 2 weeks through classes, visits and workshops, the participants have not only learnt more about green energy but also boosted their soft skills, such as their communication and intercultural skills, improving their technical English and getting used to work and share ideas with people from other countries.
The nursing profession and other social and health professions are affected, especially in the last decade, by a constantly changing work environment. The European integration process, the economic crisis of recent years, combined with a growing phenomenon of migration, significantly affect the health care sector. The Pulse 2.0 project is built on the understanding that due to the demographic changes and a Europe-wide shortage of trained medical staff, the ability to move within the EU is a vital prerequisite for nursing staff at any level, employers, training institutions, national organizations and businesses. The project aims at the improvement and assessment of language, communicative and cultural competences of nursing assistant and caregivers who work or plan to work in a foreign country by using innovative methods of learning and assessment based on digital tools.
