Course content
|
The opening (virtual) phase will take place in an online environment. During the opening day, on the one hand, all participants will meet in one online room (introduction of the organizers, introduction of the BIP program, its objectives and timetable; trailer presentations will frame the course content), on the other hand, participants will get acquainted with their mixed working groups (teacher facilitator, icebreakers, work assignments). The transition period between the virtual and the physical part (online phase) will take place in the HowSpace e-learning environment, where work groups will complete assignments (orientation to the mental health topic, work with assigned readings, comparisons between participating countries). The physical (face-to-face) phase will take place in Liberec. The main points of the program will be: introductory lectures by invited guests, workshops led by internal and external lecturers, excursions in organizations, continuous group work, familiarization with the venue (TUL, Liberec and surroundings).

Learning outcomes
|
BIP Mental Health course loosely builds on the BIPs carried out together with the same partner universities in the previous two years (2023 Stavanger, 2024 Bochum). The course will expose the students to different points of view, knowledge, teaching and research methods as well as work practices within their field in a European and international context concerning the topic Mental Health. Specifically, the content of the course will focus on mental health in the helping professions. During the course the students develop skills such as communication skills, language skills, critical thinking, problem solving, intercultural skills and research skills.
