Due to the complete academization of midwifery education in Germany and the wish to foster partnerships for student encounters among international nursing and midwifery students in Germany and Japan, a longitudinal EMP (English for Midwifery Purposes) curriculum is being implemented for midwifery students at the Medical Faculty of Leipzig, Germany. As part of this curriculum an international, interprofessional learning project between Leipzig and Chiba nursing and midwifery students was implemented, focusing on basic nursing skills in both countries. 26 midwifery students form Leipzig and 5 nursing students from Chiba worked together via virtual conference meetings to prepare presentations on one of the following themes: hygiene on the wards, patient positioning and linen change, venipuncturing and placement of venous lines, taking vital signs, and transurethral catheterization techniques. Similarities and differences in the practical handling of these skills were discussed in small groups and prepared for presentation in the plenary. In this paper, these similarities and differences are presented and paedagogical implications for further projects are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
