Our Challenge
Want to make an impact on health care in the Global South? Help us to transform the training of trainers in the field of digital health in the Global South to make it more efficient and sustainable and help multiplying healthcare. Training in health care in the Global South is often carried out on site. This implies transporting the trainers to be trained over sometimes thousands of kilometres. This is neither economical, nor ecological! But how can we transform these trainings to reduce the carbon footprint and lower the costs without loosing the efficiency of it? Come and join us to work in international teams to answer this exciting question by testing innovative teaching tools that has until now been reserved for a limited audience, like Virtual Reality environments and conceive a first POC (proof of concept).

Practical notions of virtual reality
The different solutions of training concepts also include virtual reality. Wether it will be in a “cave” (3dimensional learning environment), a hard or cardboard VR headset or another tool, you will be able to test it.
ESCO SKILLS
Scanning a 3D object
Ever used a 3D scanner? This is fun and can be useful for your future career to know how to scan an object in 3 dimensions. Learn how to use this 3D scanner, on site or online with your group.
