Erasmus Projesi, 2017 - 2019
The main objective of the project was to create a vocational training curriculum based around the ECVET framework that would provide a clear standard for the professional and vocational learning development of Physiotherapists, that are primary working around play and family based approach in Early Intervention.
As part of our project work, we also prepared an online learning platform where the outputs of the projects (the country status reports could be used to examine the Early Intervention systems in the project partner countries. The project partnership also produced a comparison report to compare these systems, and all the training materials produced within the scope of the project). These materials were uploaded to our project web site (www.vetforei.eu). Thereby enabling users to access the learning materials that would improve their understanding of the sector, the issues that partners sought to address and the skills that workers needed to develop within their profession.
The project also provided Physiotherapists a valuable opportunity to acquire direct learning through structured short-term joint staff trainings in England, Portugal and Turkey. These trainings were over 4 full days (6 days with travel days). In these trainings, each partner organization sent 2 staff members (who were physiotherapist in accordance with the target group). These training opportunities were a great opportunity for Physiotherapists to reflection on their vocational practice, test new ways of working, share ideas and develop collaborative working approaches. These LTTA were a great opportunity and added to the importance of sharing learning and at the same time develop skills relevant to the learner and their environment.
