ETOS4Europe: Mobilität für Lernende und Lehrende in der Ergotherapieausbildung
Date du début: 1 juil. 2014, Date de fin: 30 juin 2016 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

The mobility project "ETOS4Europe"; was dedicated to student- and teacher-mobility within occupational therapy education and training: ten fieldwork placements in European countries within the field of occupational therapy for learners as well as four mobilities for teachers at the ETOS School for Occupational Therapy Osnabrück were possible. Partner institutions/placements are in Belgium (Geel), Bulgaria (Ruse), Scotland (Edinburgh) and Austria Vienna. The project offered the opportunity that - already within their initial vocational education and training - future occupational therapists were enabled to acquire insights into the professional practice of occupational therapists in Europe. For the short-time, this will nourish participants' further education by offering opportunities to integrate the experiences into the own learning process, and in a long term, it will strengthen participants' future employability. Particular attention was given to the acquisition of both generic as well as specific professional competences by the active engagement in an occupational therapy (both educational and worked based) context. Examples of competences to be acquired are: • Analyses and reflection of the European Dimension of Occupational Therapy • Acquisition of European-, language-, and professional competences • Analyses and reflection of culture, work situation and health system of the host country • Development of autonomy and responsibility • Acquisition and improvement of specific OT- competences (theoretical knowledge, practical skills and attitudes) by means of: - Observation, analyses and reflection of all phases of the occupational therapy process and their characteristics - Practical activities/interventions with clients under the supervision of the professional For the two participating ETOS-teachers (Viennea and Edinburgh), the project offered the opportunity for competence-acquisition within the framework of lifelong learning. On the one hand, the intended intense exchange with European colleagues ( by attending an international week and/or giving presentations/lectures at the partner institutions) allowed to improve as well as assure a long-term cooperation. On the other hand, insights and experiences served as a rich source for the reflection and/or confirmation of the own professional know-how and teaching-performance. In addition, the results of the mobility can be used for curricular changes, additions or adaptations. In summary, the project not only represents a significant enrichment for both the learning process of the students and the international biography of the ETOS School for Occupational Therapy, it also provides considerable contribution to both maintain and improve its educational quality.
