UKROTHE: Developing an Occupational Therapy studie programme in Ukraine

Within the UKROTHE project, 3 Ukrainian colleges will be supported to develop a reformed curriculum for occupational therapy training according to the requirements of WFOT (World Federation of Occupational Therapists). Due to the armed conflict in eastern Ukraine, there is an increasing need for well-trained workers. This can only be achieved through a reform of the current occupational therapy curriculum, based on specific regional needs. The reform focuses on practical training through the use of demo material and various internships. Therefore, not only the teachers are involved in the project, but also the staff of hospitals and rehabilitation centers. They will have an important role in coaching and supporting the students.
