The MultiCultiMed project represents a pioneering initiative in Europe aimed at developing multicultural educational practices for students in medical and health sciences. This project introduces a new approach to multicultural education with a paradigm shift away from traditional analysis of cultural differences. It focuses on the development of cultural knowledge, awareness, sensitivity, and competencies, enabling students to achieve a deeper understanding and acceptance of cultural diversity. We will develop an accessible multicultural educational platform, which will be a key tool for enhancing the quality of medical and health education across Europe. The platform will include a variety of interactive exercises and activities tailored to the individual needs and interests of students.

Outcomes:

• Textbook: Creation of a modern textbook covering multicultural topics, integrated with the educational platform.
• Mobile Educational Platform: Development of a mobile application with exercises for multicultural education, adaptable for both group and individual learning.
• Teacher's Guide: Development of an application that enables teachers to implement modern teaching methods.
• Human Library: A series of interviews with individuals from marginalized groups sharing their experiences with healthcare workers.
• Research: Identification of factors affecting the well-being and resilience of vulnerable groups, with a focus on war refugees.
• MultiCultiMed European Congress: Organization of an event to present the tools and results of the project, with a special focus on improving healthcare.
