Today, consortium members of the “Micro-credentials in Soft Skills for Healthcare Professionals and Students” (MISS4Health) project start an in-person meeting in Cáceres (Spain), in the Jesús Usón Minimally Invasive Surgery Centre facilities. The MISS4Health project, with reference nr. ID 2023-1-CZ01-KA220-HED-000159335, within the call for Cooperation Partnerships in Higher Education, counts with a budget of 400.000€ and is co-funded by the Erasmus Plus Programme of the European Union. Its aim is to improve competences in soft skills using a modular Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) based on micro-credentials at EU level that certificates these competences and the pedagogical value of the MOOC. This way, Higher Education and Vocational Education Training institutions will have the opportunity to offer shorter, more flexible, accredited programs.
The project partners were happy to meet again to build a strong partnership and discuss live next steps on the MOOC development. In this meeting, the implementation in Moodle and the use of interactive activities with practical examples will be discussed and the MOOC piloting will be drafted. Furthermore, general aspects of the project in terms of dissemination and management have been also included in the agenda.
MISS4Health counts on seven partner organisations, University of Hradec Králové from Czech Republic, the project leader, and the consortium members: Foundation Jesús Usón Minimally Invasive Surgery Centre (Spain), Vytautas Magnus University (Lithuania), Turiba University (Latvia), Viral Studios (Spain), University of Rijeka (Croatia), and Charles University (Czech Republic).
