Project description

The tourism constitutes one of the most important economic sectors in Hungary and Europe, with a very significant occupational relevance. Within the tourism sector and activities, a growing importance is more and more acquired by the segment of the health tourism.

The health tourism  to satisfy the demand of services and products related to this kind of tourist fruition, it offers concrete and expanding job opportunities to a large number of people, in a very large and quite diversified range of activities and qualifications across the European countries and regions, often not clearly defined in terms of learning outcomes but also frequently regulated, in terms of access to the training and qualification opportunities, in a way that in fact is very limiting the mobility beyond the VET systems “borders” (confines of national/regional VET systems, barriers to the mobility within a particular VET system; obstacles to mobility outside the formal education).

 

Thus, the project partners (VET providers, enterprises and non-profit associations operating in the field of health tourism, having legislative competence on tourism and on VET at regional level), have agreed that an intervention to put in transparency and recognise the learning outcomes characterising the health tourism professions, applying and implementing the European tools and frameworks EQF and ECVET, could have a very significant impact.

 

The major activities at this aim are focused on the MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) ECVET contents (definition of the professional field in terms of learning outcomes, mapping it onto the EQF via national qualifications frameworks and systems, designing qualifications in transferable units of learning outcomes with allocation of credit points), and on its enforcement (Learning Agreements, Credits Awarding, Transfer Validation and Accumulation, through related VET programmes with flexible devices for validation, transfer and recognition of learning outcomes achieved in formal, informal and non formal contexts), as well as on the mainstreaming and multiplication of these results.

It is expected that these activities will enhance the mobility of health tourism professionals, contributing to the emergence of generally accepted qualifications and training standards.

The foreseeable impact of the project on the target groups is significant, during the project (at least 50 health tourism professionals across Europe, of which 30 in Hungary and 10 in each of the other participating country) and also after the project is finish, through valorisation activities targeted on public and sectoral decision-makers an on end-users, at local, regional, national, and European level.
