The two-day event, held at Heimerer College, highlighted how this international collaboration is helping improve education, research, and healthcare services with innovative digital tools.

On the first day, participants shared insights about the project’s achievements, including how it supported the creation of new professional training courses, developed digital learning platforms and materials, and introduced new ways of working in healthcare education.
On the second day focused attendees discussed how to share the project’s successes to schools, healthcare workers, and the wider community. Workshops gave everyone a chance to brainstorm improvements, while a round table brought different voices together to talk about the challenges of making digital education and healthcare more accessible.

Let’s go back to where it all began! ✨

Heimerer College, in partnership with ten local and international organizations, embarked on an exciting journey by establishing a Student-run Interdisciplinary Allied Health Practice Center. This initiative, funded by the European Union’s Erasmus+ Program, aimed to revolutionize education in allied health sciences through digital and mixed-reality learning.

The creation of this Digital Center was a game-changer for lifelong learning in the health sector. Aligned with the Bologna process and supported by partnerships with health providers, ministries, and national industry, it opened doors to innovative learning and collaboration opportunities.

The kick off meeting took place online on February 15, 18, 22, and 23, 2021, marking the official launch of this ambitious project. It was the starting point of a new era for Kosovo’s students and health professionals, introducing ICT and digital skills, modern pedagogical approaches, and fostering strategic partnerships.

This project is funded by the European Union’s Erasmus+ Program and includes a consortium of 11 partners, with 7 local and 4 European organizations working together to create meaningful change in education and healthcare.

What an incredible journey it has been so far! 🌍

We are happy to announce that the Consortium members of the SIAHDPC Project participated in a Study Visit at Metropolia University in Helsinki, Finland. This visit was a crucial part of this Capacity Building of Higher Education project, which aimed to enhance the virtual and mixed reality practice-oriented education in allied health sciences through life-long learning (LLL), in line with the Bologna process and collaboration with rehabilitation/health providers, ministries and national industry.

The main goal of this study visit was to enhance understanding and sharing of best practices about the Digitalization of the Learning/Teaching process, and the application of digital technology in the provision of health and social services. At this point in the project (month 27/44), this event helped the Kosovan partners to enter the piloting phase of the first Centre of its kind in the Western Balkans at the premises of Heimerer College. Specifically, the visit was focused on new pedagogical approaches, digital platforms, continuous professional courses, e-Health services, quality assessment approaches, and methodologies.

In parallel, partners were able to participate in the Futures Arena, a two-day event that brought together transdisciplinary expertise to create insights into the future. The event hosted international speakers and workshops for discovering new perspectives on collaboration and learning for sustainable well-being.

After the study visit, the partners will work on the further definition of the process milestones and next steps of the piloting phase of the SIAHDPC upon their return to Kosova. Overall, this study visit was an essential step towards achieving the project's goals and enhancing the quality of education and services in the allied health sciences field.

The interim dissemination event, brought together students and representatives of Heimerer College and international partners from the University of Applied Sciences of JAMK , Finland, Metropolia University of Applied Sciences, Finland, Martin Luther University Halle, Germany, Univations, Germany, RIT Kosova, Kosova, Kadri Zeka University, Kosova, Southeast European Institute for Health and Social Policy, Kosova, Klinika Digjitale, Kosova, Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, Kosova, and Milky Way Creative, Kosova.
The Multidisciplinary Center for Student-Run Health Practice’s therapists led the first segment of the seminar, which was conducted in a hybrid format. In which we had the opportunity to see online therapies from the clinic of autism, psychology, speech therapy and a consulting session from nursing.
The second part of this event continued with a Round Table, with the presence of the Rector of Heimerer College, Prof. Asst. Dr. Naime Brajshori, Coordinator of the Office of Erasmus+ Ko, Mimika Dobroshi in which the main results of the SIAHDPC project were presented.
Lessons learnt about how to enhance healthcare and education in Kosovo were also presented during the round table, along with evidence to support the claim from pertinent research done by HEIS of Kosovo students and professors throughout the project’s lifespan.
As far as the 2nd day of the respective Seminar is concerned, it was matched with another relatively significant international conference organized by the ISEE-HSP and HC traditionally. It was the 13th Symposium ‘Innovation, Health and Technology/ Multidisciplinary approach”. Such an event was considered ideal for dissemination and exploitation of the project results, given the fact that it represented the biggest event on those topics in Kosovo/region. Hence, partners were able to present SIAHPDC project goals, objectives and progress achieved till that point in time to a relatively wide audience of 293 health professionals, policy makers, managers of educational and health care organizations, researchers, students and other stakeholders.
