This project with the acronym "EIVIWAC" aims to improve the employment opportunities for blind women, by promoting a new occupation in the field of health care. The applied partnership project is required to evaluate and initialize the important preliminary administrative measures for implementing a new course. This new occupation makes use of the sophisticated tactile perception of blind women to detect breast cancer in executing a standardised method of palpation diagnostic. This occupation was successfully developed and implemented in Germany under the brand name "discovering hands". The course is exclusively designed for blind women and the national regulations, prerequisites and requirements for the vocational training (VET) and occupation in the German health care system. A transfer of this course to other European countries can't be simply realised by only translating the training course and the learning and teaching materials. An implementaion of this course in other European countries is dependent on the specific national health care system and the regulations of VET in health care occupations. Furthermore it is important to introduce the training centres and the training staff, who will be involved in delivering such training to the standardised diagnosis system and the comprehensive course system right through from the assessment to the examination of participants. The applied partnership project will empower all partners to investigate, evaluate and prepare all legal and administrative prerequisites necessary for the implementation of this new occupation in each of the partner countries in the frame of a LEONARDO DA VINCI innovation-transfer project. It is intended that the partnership will apply for funding for such a project after the successful completion.Homepage: http://www.enviter.eu/index.php?idcat=56
