Consortium members of the “Micro-credentials in Soft Skills for Healthcare Professionals and Students” (MISS4Health) project held a 3-day joint workshop in Rijeka (Croatia). Hosted by the University of Rijeka, in the Faculty of Medicine, the project partners met from September 16^th to 18^th in an intense and fruitful working event.  

During these 3 days, participants worked and discussed the contents for the 5 modules that will integrate the MOOC. Each course will deal with a particular soft skill: communication, leadership, teamwork, decision making and situation awareness. For each course, learning objectives, course materials and assessment were reviewed and discussed for a common agreement. The Moodle platform as well as the micro-credentials conditions were also addressed. 

MISS4Health counts on seven partner organisations, University of Hradec Králové from Czech Republic, the project leader, and the consortium members: Foundation Jesús Usón Minimally Invasive Surgery Centre (Spain), Vytautas Magnus University (Lithuania), Turiba University (Latvia), Viral Studios (Spain), University of Rijeka (Croatia), and Charles University (Czech Republic).  

The MISS4Health project, with reference nr. ID 2023-1-CZ01-KA220-HED-000159335, within the call for Cooperation Partnerships in Higher Education, counts with a budget of 400.000€ and is co-funded by the Erasmus Plus Programme of the European Union.  Its aim is to improve competences in soft skills using a modular Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) based on micro-credentials at EU level that certificates these competences and the pedagogical value of the MOOC. This way, Higher Education and Vocational Education Training institutions will have the opportunity to offer shorter, more flexible, accredited programs.
