Date du début: 1 juin 2014, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2015 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

The background for this project is to provide support for students, who wish to achieve personal learning goals in a study stay abroad, and support for staff, who wishes to extend their international academic networks by teaching and cooperating with international colleagues abroad, and staff, who whishes to develop their own competence by going abroad. The activities are student mobility for studies (5 students) and student mobility for placements (11 students), and staff mobility for teaching (6 staff) and staff mobility for training (2 staff). The students have all achieved their learning goals abroad and have had their qualifications embedded in the programs at Diakonhjemmet University College by substituting courses/ECTS in the local programs with courses/ECTS from our partner institutions. Regarding placement mobility, which is an integrated part of the college's regular curriculum with well defined learning goals and credits allocated to the period of placement, the students on mobility abroad have received the same number of credits for their placement as students in the respective placements locally. Students on an international placement gets the added benefit of insights into the influence of local historical, ethical, economical, political and professional factors in the professional culture, which the local placement is embedded. The staff have all reported successful and beneficial stays abroad, and the college has benefited at large from having staff involved with international colleagues and thus strengthened its relations with academic HEI's abroad. The staff mobility for training has been carried out by academic staff visiting other Nordic HEI's by work shadowing in one case, in order to benefit from observation of how palliative care is taught and supervised in the receiving institution, and by participation in an international week at a partner institution in the other case, in order to share experience and learn from how our partners utilize e-learning. Both activities are expected to benefit the college's own students by presenting international knowledge and practice in the field to the college's teachers. The staff mobility for teaching has been reported from by the participating staff as successful and beneficial for their own international networking.
