DESCRIPTION:Course Type: Applied Blended Challenge (ABC) Programme \n  \nDuration and Timeline:  \n\nCourse components and contact hours: 25 hrs synchronous online\, 35 hrs onsite \, 15 hrs independent and group work\nOnline component: 9 – 20 February 2026\, Europe/Madrid (UTC+1)\nOn-site component: 23 – 28 February 2026 (Madrid\, Spain)\n\n  \nAward\, Credits and Certification  \nOn successful completion of the course participants will receive 3 ECTS credits and a certificate of attendance \nOrganised by: \nUniversidad Francisco de Vitoria (Spain ) Lead and Host Institution \n\nJorge Acebes Sánchez  (Universidad Francisco de Vitoria)\n\nSantarém Polytechnic University (Portugal) \n\nNuno Pimenta\n\nCarinthia University of Applied Sciences (Austria) \n\nMichael Suppanz\n\nExternal stakeholders that will be involved in the course: \n\nQuirón Salud- Olympia\n\n  \nCourse Description and Learning Objectives \n“This course explores how urban environments shape the health and well-being of older adults\, with a special focus on barriers that limit physical activity. Through online preparation and an intensive onsite week in Madrid\, students will work in interdisciplinary teams to identify real-world challenges faced by older adults and co-create practical solutions. The programme combines theory\, fieldwork\, and collaboration with healthcare professionals\, making it an excellent opportunity for students interested in active aging\, urban health\, and applied problem-solving.” \n  \nCourse Description: \nProvide a more structured explanation of the course\, dividing it into its main components: \n\nOnline sessions:\n\nStudents are introduced to the core concepts of active aging\, the role of physical activity in later life\, and how urban environments shape health. Online work includes short readings\, interactive sessions\, group discussions\, and preparatory tasks (e.g.\, stakeholder mapping and barrier-scoping exercises) to prime teams for the onsite challenge \n\nOn-site sessions:\n\nDuring the mobility week\, students immerse in a real-world challenge: identifying barriers to physical activity among older adults in urban settings and co-creating feasible strategies. Activities include stakeholder interviews\, field visits\, teamwork workshops\, and design-thinking labs. By Day 5\, teams pitch their solutions to a panel of experts and stakeholders. \n\nFollow-up / reflection:\n\nTwo to three weeks after the onsite week\, student teams from each participating country will be invited to present a short project developed in their local context. This follow-up activity allows participants to apply the knowledge and methods acquired during the programme to their own environments\, adapting proposed solutions to local needs. In addition\, students will receive consolidated feedback from faculty and stakeholders\, and complete a reflective activity on skills and competencies developed throughout the course. \n  \nSpecific learning objectives include: \nBy the end of the course\, students will be able to: \n\nIdentify and analyse key barriers that prevent older adults from engaging in physical activity in urban contexts.\nApply problem-solving methodologies such as design thinking to develop feasible interventions.\nCollaborate effectively in interdisciplinary and multicultural teams.\nCommunicate solutions persuasively through written proposals and oral presentations.\nReflect critically on the relationship between health\, urban environments\, and aging.\n\nWhich students would find this course useful for them? \nThis course may be suitable for students from ACE2-EU partner universities enrolled in undergraduate or postgraduate programmes in the following fields: \n\nHealth Sciences (Medicine\, Nursing\, Physiotherapy\, Public Health\, Sports Sciences)\nSocial Sciences (Psychology\, Social Work\, Public Policy)\nUrban Studies and Architecture\n\nThis course may be suitable for those who have an interest in: \n\nActive and healthy aging\nPhysical activity promotion\nUrban health and social innovation\nInterdisciplinary teamwork and problem-solving\n\n\nRecommended Language Level :\n\nMinimum B2 level of English\, as the course requires active participation in discussions\, teamwork\, and presentations.\n\n\n\nApplication Process: \nInterested applicants should \n🔗 Apply here: https://forms.gle/BQKminiRdyhUcKJaA \nDeadline for receipt of applications: 15 November 2025 \nA notification of acceptance to participate will be sent to successful applicants on the day of month year (an acceptance email will be sent by the host institution and will include programme registration details) \nFurther Information \nFor any further information or queries related to the course\, please contact: \nj.acebes.prof@ufv.es

They bring together students from across the partner universities for intensive programmes combining academic learning\, experiential workshops\, and collaborative projects.\nEach edition focuses on real-world challenges identified by external stakeholders\, connected to the UN Sustainable Development Goals\, and designed to foster interdisciplinary teamwork\, creativity\, and critical thinking. \nThey aim to promote European values\, intercultural dialogue\, and social responsibility\, empowering students to become agents of positive change in their professional and community contexts. \nIn this context\, the Palliative Care Flavour School will invite students to explore\, through teamwork and applied practice\, how health professionals can respond to end-of-life needs with empathy\, ethical reflection\, and interdisciplinary collaboration\, fostering a deeper understanding of holistic and compassionate care. \nDuration and Timeline:  \nCourse components and contact hours: 25 hours on-site theorical practice ; Workshop\, seminars \n\nOn site component: 23 – 27 February 2026\, Period of Time  (FROM MONDAY TO FRIDAY)\n\nAward\, Credits and Certification  \nOn successful completion of the course participants will receive 1 ECTS credit and a certificate of attendance \nOrganised by: \nInstituto Politécnico de Santarém (Portugal ) Instituto Politécnico de Santarém \n\nLígia Eduarda Pereira Monterroso  (IP Santarém)\nMaria José Nogueira (IP Santarém)\nIsilda Ferreira (IP Santarém)\nMarta Rosa (IP Santarém)\nHelena Caseiro (IP Santarém)\nGoce Delcev University (Macedonia)\nDaniela Baklioska (GDU)\n\nExternal stakeholders that will be involved in the course: \n\nSantarém City Council\nPalliative Care Unit\nLeziria Local Health Unit (Sónia Malaca; Yahia Abuowda)\n\nCourse Description and Learning Objectives \n“Palliative Care (PC) is a holistic\, active health care that seeks to improve the quality of life of patients and their families/caregivers by preventing and alleviating suffering\, through early identification\, diagnosis and appropriate treatment of pain and other problems\, whether physical\, psychological\, social or spiritual (WHO). \nThey are integrated care\, provided by an interdisciplinary team and are based on ethical principles and advance care planning\, so they do not anticipate or prolong the dying process. \nThey actively involve family members/caregivers in crisis prevention\, empowering and supporting them in grief\, in a personalized way\, for adults and children\, as needed. \nIn PC\, the person is considered as the axis of care\, with active participation in communication and decision-making processes\, ensuring respect for their autonomy\, opinions\, values and rights”. \n  \nCourse Description: \nProvide a more structured explanation of the course\, dividing it into its main components: \n\nOn-site sessions:\n\nDuring the onsite week\, participants engage in an integrated learning experience that combines theoretical input\, problem-based learning (PBL)\, and cooperative group work. The programme progressively moves from understanding the principles and scope of palliative care to exploring its practical\, ethical\, and communicative dimensions. Early sessions introduce the philosophy of palliative care\, the needs of patients and families\, and the functioning of palliative care units. As the week advances\, participants work collaboratively on cases addressing symptom management\, communication with patients and families\, and ethical decision-making in end-of-life situations. The course concludes with activities focused on teamwork and interdisciplinarity\, where participants reflect on their learning outcomes and share insights through collective discussion and a cultural exchange moment. \nFollow-up / reflection: During this week\, group activities will be proposed so that students can interact with each other\, discuss topics\, and present to the other participants in class.
