Knowledg3xchange: Improvement of nursing dialogue between practice, education and science

We are doing a research project with a difficult name. Do not let that scare you. The project is called:

“Knowledg3xchange: Improvement of nursing dialogue between practice, education and science.”

This means that people share their knowledge about nursing. That is why we also call it: Nursing-Knowledge.

The research team brings people together. They do different things in nursing: Some work in nursing. For example, they are nurses or elderly care workers. Some are still learning these jobs. And some are researchers. All of them will meet and talk to each other.

They want to make nursing work better for everyone. They also talk about people using different languages.

There will be three meetings in Poland and three meetings in Austria. Nurses, trainees, and researchers take part in the meetings.

The project team sends the results to politicians.

Every research project has a long number called a “grant number.” This project’s number is: 2023-2-DE02-KA210-VET-000170025.

Funded by the European Union. Views and opinions expressed are however those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA). Neither the European Union nor EACEA can be held responsible for them.

There are many difficult situations in nursing. People in nursing need to talk about it to solve problems together.

The Knowledg3xchange project helps workers, researchers, and learners in nursing talk to each other.

In the meetings, we talk to each other about nursing. We talk about language and diversity (this means people from different cultures and with different sexual orientations). This way, people learn more about these topics.

The idea for the project came from another project by FOM University. That project is called “Language & Care.”
