Through cross- and interdisciplinary collaborations between teacher, nursing, and medical education, we devise new instructional materials and innovative methods for mental health learning and teaching that strengthen the ability of European professional education to offer relevant, inclusive, and high-quality education.
Activities
The project is centered around four workshops with different focuses where key persons in the partnership meet to map, discuss and compare relevant comics, identify challenges and best practices in comics professional education, and develop new instructional materials and mental health teaching methods. Other important activities in the project include literature review, the inclusion of student perspectives, comics creation, and participation in scientific and public debates.
Project outcomes
The project aims to produce a strong European network for mental health teaching and instructional materials that create awareness and nuanced understanding of mental health issues. We develop holistic approaches that prepare teacher, nursing and medical students to meet and address mental health topics in schools and medical settings in ways that are inclusive and equitable. Other immediate results include student-made comics and an experimental project comic.
