Interprofessional Education and Collaboration for Sustainable Development

Sustainability is understood in a very broad sense, the following quotes serve as inspiration in relation to the theme for the Nordic Interprofessional Network conference 2024:

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) has to be understood as an integral part of quality education… What ESD requires is a shift from teaching to learning. It asks for action-oriented, transformative pedagogy, which supports self-directed learning, participation, and collaboration, problem-oriented, inter- and transdisciplinary and the linking of formal and informal learning”(Unesco, 2017:7 Education for Sustainable Development Goals: learning objectives – UNESCO Digital Library).

AMEE Consensus Statement defines Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in relation to healthcare: “We define education for sustainable healthcare as the process of equipping current and future health professionals with the knowledge, values, confidence and capacity to provide environmentally sustainable services through health professions education” (Shaw et al., 2021, AMEE Consensus Statement: Planetary health and education for sustainable healthcare).

The conference encourages everyone, educators, practitioners, researchers, administrators, and students to participate. Abstracts at all levels of interprofessional perspectives are accepted. The abstracts can be based on research and/or practical solutions and should support training in interprofessional collaborative practice or team-based activities, for the current health, social care, and pedagogical workforce.

The Capital Region of Denmark and University College Copenhagen (Københavns Professionshøjskole) is hosting the NIPNET-conference 2024, in collaboration with the Danish Society of Interprofessional Learning and Collaboration (Dansk Selskab for Interprofessionel Læring og Samarbejde).
