Short description
“No Poverty” is the Sustainable Development Goal number 1. Poverty is a global problem on many levels. Living in poverty causes inequality and hardship in nutrition, education, health and various other aspects. Poverty is often inherited. Social entrepreneurship is one way to address these issues. Students work in interdisciplinary teams to explore, research and understand real world problems around poverty and empathize with people to solve problems and create solutions. Creativity and the ability to develop better solutions together are key competences in future work life.

DIVERSITY AND SOCIAL INCLUSION (eDiSI)
Keywords
Social isolation / migration /inclusion /poverty /low SES / hyper-diversity
Short description
Diversity and Social Inclusion is a program of study aimed at enhancing awareness of different kinds of social inequalities rooted in many different ways of diversity in our contemporary societies. It supports to develop core competences in health care professionals, social workers with the help of an already piloted interdisciplinary model (ICIC) based on blended learning approach. This model could improve the sensibility to differences in cultural, socio-economic and health status, and the unequal distribution of social resources. A final assignment is required to be presented in the last day of the course, which also serves as the ground for assessment.
This programme offers a unique opportunity for you to meet with fellow students and teaching staff from different countries and professional backgrounds to listen to, discuss and debate the issues around inclusion of the most vulnerable group of people in our societies.

Title
Transforming the international occupational therapy „FAB“ semester into the online environment
Description
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the international occupational therapy „FAB“ semester during the students placement and we then had to transform three modules and the official end of the semester, including the reflections and celebrations, to online courses.
In the webinar, we describe the organisational and didactic challenges and opportunities working with an international student and teachers group in an online environment.
We, as an international teachers team, managed an online virtual tour of the city Vienna, invited experts from the field for online interviews, coordinated the online assessment, did an online focus group reflection and organized an atmospheric and lively closing ceremony together with our FAB students.
We are excited to give insight and share our experiences in online teaching in the COHERE webinar.
