Abstract

Background

The Netherlands changes from welfare to participation society, in which citizens have responsibility for their own health. This is not reachable for every citizen, resulting in a rise of marginalised vulnerable groups, half with a migration background. Within our faculty of Health there is a lack of education in training students as inter-professional professionals on community-based health promotion in the urban diverse environment.

Theory

Positive health, social determinants of health, inter-professional collaboration and inter-cultural communication skills will prepare the students for their work in the community.

Educational approach

Education as a continuous learning track in the curricula of all bachelor programs (Occupational, Physical, Exercise therapy and Nursing) based on a sustainable assignment portfolio in the urban environment.

Evaluation

Collaboration in inter-professional teams and focusing on health promotion and diversity gives students insight into the complexity of citizens problems. They learn to use one another’s expertise to come up with ‘citizen-oriented’ solutions on resilience. The programme fuses education and community practice in all courses and academic years.

Application to Education

Students carry out assignments and intern-ships in the community, teaching staff supervises students in the community and local professionals and citizens enrich the education focussing on resilience and diversity.
