Care and welfare are increasingly being organised locally. That underlines the importance of being able to work together with very different parties at district or neighbourhood level. Practical skills and attitude training are given under this teaching guideline in e Area-based cooperation.
Housing, care and welfare organisations are working more and more with local partners in the district. Mutually exchanging knowledge and cooperating with volunteers and informal carers is no easy matter, according to a survey among healthcare professionals. They often speak a different language.
Our training courses help professionals to translate the demand from the neighbourhood into a suitable supply, plan, mandate and KPIs. Experience shows that results are better supported in practice when professionals train their 'antennas' and learn to think in scenarios. That is why we have created a teaching guideline in which we teach precisely these skills.
Teaching guideline for policymakers/developers/administrators
The core objective of the teaching guideline for policymakers is to reduce the gap between policy and implementation:
- Basing policy and plans on scientific and practical knowledge;
- Working to ensure that policy and planning better match the demand;
- Ensuring that obstacles in implementation are avoided;
- Thinking from a user perspective;
- Being open to contributions from various angles.
Teaching guideline for personnel
The core objective of the teaching guideline for personnel is to develop an effective way for professional and non-professional organisations to work together.
Intended learning outcomes
The skills we train are:
- Learning to speak a common language;
- Collaborating with other types of organisations;
- Thinking in terms of scenarios: not only looking at the present, but also at a possible situation in the future;
- Connecting small and large scale together: from resident and district to municipality and state;
- Looking at your daily activities in a different way to create innovative perspectives. For example, by working with teams consisting of different actors.
Practice-based
These skills are trained and further developed in practice under the teaching guideline. In the workshops we use methods such as gaming and e-learning, video-response training and the environment scan. The workshops are supported with a concrete case study. This can be realistic or theoretical from an existing context and can come from your own library or be applied for by the organisation. Participants can take part in their own role, but they can also be instructed to take on the role of another person (such as that of resident, entrepreneur or developer).
