162 Creating spaces to share concrete educational practices and experiences for Capacity Building in Migration and Health in Higher Education

Abstract WKS 3: Creating spaces to share concrete educational practices and experiences for Capacity Building in Migration and Health in Higher Education, B305 (FCSH), September 3, 2025, 14:30 - 15:30 Background and Objectives Building capacity in migration and health in higher education is key to better, sustainable, and equitable health care provision, but information on how different countries work towards this goal is not easily accessible. In a Lancet publication in 2024, the authors shared perspectives from five European countries to illustrate good examples in higher education and proposed creating further spaces to share concrete educational practices and experiences for adaptation and replication. The objective of this workshop is to?create such space to reflect upon the need to work at various levels and share good practices among several countries worldwide. Workshop Plan We will start the workshop by briefly introducing the theme and sharing some good examples of capacity building from European countries. Thereafter, we will invite the participants to work in groups sharing good national or regional examples and subsequently invite them in a world-cafés format to discuss the examples under thematic areas at four levels: conceptual evolution, policy and implementation, organization at the academic level and teaching materials and pedagogies. Each table will be led by one moderator. Finally, results will be shared in plenary and all participants invited to write a short description of the good example that will be circulated to all participants that agree to that after the workshop. This way, participants have inspiration and concrete tools to use in higher education, which is needed because building capacity on migrant and health is stagnating in many higher education institutions. Main Messages This workshop will create a possibility for learning on-site from each other’s examples, reflect upon the need to advance capacity building at several levels, and get more detailed information of the tools after the conference.
