INTERDISCIPLINARY PROGRAMME ON PALLIATIVE AND END-OF-LIFE CARE (IPPE)
The Interdisciplinary Programme on Palliative and End-of-life Care has been developed in cooperation with 10 European Universities and a North-American University: University of Connecticut (UCONN). In January 2021 the project will be organized in blended learning in 3 formats:
FORMAT 1
Blended learning and contact education in Ghent:
We want to offer the IPPE program in Ghent in an adapted version and in a strict safe way: working in very small teams, keynotes in safe rooms, debate worldwide online, hands-on workshop, study visits in very small groups, etc.
FORMAT 2
Students@home (individual-online):
Keynotes, debate worldwide, presentations will be life streamed. Workshops will be replaced by films and discussion on MS TEAMS. Assignments are online
FORMAT 3
Students@home but with small local groups on their own campus:
Keynotes, debate worldwide will be life streamed. Workshops and assignments will be in small groups partly with online coaching, partly with local teachers.
