Currently only 10% of patients who need a transplant will receive it. Multiple ways are needed to deal with organ donation programs, in addition to social awareness, media campaigns, religion, ethics and legislative changes, the training of professionals in the field of organ donation is vital for the success of the organ donation programs. The main purpose of the project is Empowering volunteers´ skills through working in Organ donation, increasing the employability of young people, improving their professional and personal skills, and raising awareness among them about the topics of the organ donation. The main activitys of the project are focused on the preparation and implementation of cooperation projects, training courses (on-line and face-to-face) and awareness events related to organ donation. Volunteers will learn the formal and non-formal techniques and methodology to manage and coordinate their volunteer’s activities. In addition, the project aims to support volunteers in the acquisition of skills, knowledge, and attitudes in order to improve their personal development and their future entry into the health care labour market. Likewise, the project will improve also their competence in foreign languages - Spanish and / or Catalan The beneficiaries of this project are two volunteers from Poland and one from Germany. They are young people (18-30 years old), motivated and interested in the Healthcare field and especially Organ donation. We believe that in the end of the EVS, volunteers will not only have acquired the necessary skills to obtain jobs according to their personal interests but will also continue transferring knowledge related with Organ donation, through the organization of events, information sessions, meetings, formal and non-formal workshops. Secondly, the overall impact of the project will basically significant increasement in the number of organ donors and professionals trained in the Healthcare field at the local, regional, national, European and international levels.

"Although multifactor approaches are needed to tackle the issue of organ and tissue donation on different levels, besides social awareness, mass media campaigns, religion, ethics and legislative modifications, the training of professionals active in organ and tissue donation and their involvement in the implementation of pro-active donor detection systems at hospital level is highlighted as the major factor by many national and international programs. The main objective of the project based on ""Training Program in Organ and Tissue Donation"" is to train the volunteer in the techniques and methodology necessaries for the management and coordination of a program in the field of organ and tissue donation. The project will be developped during 9 months in the venue of the Fundació DTI at the Parc Científic of Barcelona, thus combined with stays to attend the training courses as well as stays in some hospitals or sanitary centers of the Community with the aim to achieve the best training for the volunteer. The volunteer's volunteering week will be 35 hours per week from Monday to Friday. Mornings will be dedicated basically to project tasks and afternoons to training activities. The proposed activity implies the support to the development and implementation of the face-to-face and on-line training programs on organ and tissue donation for transplantation. The aim of this project is to increase the international network of professionals trained in this field in order to improve the organ and tissue donation at international level. Within the network created, the TPM program will provide customer support and building Action Plans to promote organ donation among health professionals and general public. This network permits also empower us to build up training programs at large scale within the European Union (EU) and worldwide. During all the stay the two volunteers proposed will have a coordinator who will be responsible of their activity and a supervisor who will help them in the process of their cultural, linguistic and social integration.

Based on the ETPOD -European Training Program on Organ Donation- a successful Training program that improves the Organ Donation (Transpl Int 2013 Apr; 26(4):373-84), SeeLife project aims to improve the professional competences, knowledge and skills in the domain of Organ Donation and Transplantation in Bulgaria and Latvia, setting the bases for best practices in alignment with the EU directives and Spain experience on Organ Donation and Transplantation. The educational program will provide homogeneous knowledge in organ donation and transplantation to enhancing the development of professional competences in the domain. The project targets healthcare professionals at University level, as well as physicians already specialized or in training from Critical Care medicine, Emergency and Recovery units, Nephrologists, Neurologists, Neuro surgeons and Transplant surgeons, transplant physicians.Objectives and Methodology 1. To define the Target Areas (TAs) within Bulgaria and Latvia. TAs will be selected according to the following criteria: to have at least 1 donor hospital and 1 transplant hospital, covering a population over 300.000 inhabitants. 2. To perform a Diagnosis study in the TAs defined. Diagnosis study report will analyse an organ donation and transplantation activity in partner countries; Evaluation of Internet access and digital literacy in the partner countries. As diagnosis tool, a survey considering specific criteria and indicators will be designed, developed and implemented to collect the above mentioned information, both from partners and other official resources.3. To design a Training Program in Organ Donation and Transplantation for healthcare proffesionals.• Online Training -The E- learning method to be used in the course will be interactive and will deliver the training by electronic means• The face to face training - This method will reinforce the knowledge through experience and will be designed to put into practice the contents acquired in the on-line modules and, therefore, will facilitate the switch from the theoretical knowledge to practice.• Learn to teach training -The training will be designed in two phases, chronologically different but nonetheless, interrelated. Blended Learning (On-Line and Off-Line Training) will be the educational methodology4. To develop academic and scientific contents for a blended training program, in accordance with the European Space for Higher Education guidelines (ECTS) An ELearning Platform will enable students to be acquiring basic knowledge on a distance basis and afterwards practicing to endorse it. The training “learn to teach” will be addressed to a group of teachers that will become faculty and coordinators of the Seminars to be held in their corresponding TA’s. 5. To implement the Training Program in II Phases:• I Phase foresees to train a total 15 healthcare professionals from Bulgaria and Latvia. • II Phase through Seminars in Organ Donation, a total of 375 participants will be further trained. The seminars will be theoretical and practical. The educational material and instructions to successfully carry out the Seminars will be produced along the “Learn to Teach” training.6. To ensure the program sustainability a network in Organ Donation and Transplantation will be constituted, with the participation of the University Multiprofile Hospital for Active Treatment and Emergency Medicine NI Pirogov and University Pauls Stradins Clinical University Hospital from Bulgaria and Latvia respectively. 7. To ensure a quality control system, follow up and evaluation plan will be designed along with partners to establish standards for measuring the quality of the different phases of the educational project. This assessment document will be performed by educational experts in educational quality and blended learning methodology.One of the outcomes of the SeeLife project is to design a special and fit to the concrete national circumstances training programme that encompasses different medical sphere and is oriented towards achievement of unique curricula. Thus the project aims at enhancing personal development of learners and strengthening of the European society of medical professionals that are involved in the Organ Donation and Transplantation process. Within the project will be trained trainers and and will be formed well qualified specialists that will continue to assist the young specialist in the very specific area of organ donation and transplantation. In its unique way the project is in compliance with the objective for improving the quality and relevance of the higher education and especially the training on the job.

The specialized training of health professionals in organ donation has turned to be one of the crucial factors for increasing donation rates in all countries. China the 2nd largest country in the world is facing the challenge of establishing an ethical and sustainable system of organ donation. The donation rate (PMP) was 2.02 in 2015, which is far behind when comparing with most of the countries in the world. Training for medical professionals is an effective approach to increase donation rate in China. Unfortunately, this work in training is far away from enough.Therefore; University of Barcelona, University of Bologna and University of Nice together with DTI-Foundation initiate KeTLOD project to fill-in the gap of the training lack in the Chinese universities on organ donation. This initiative is based on European great experience in donation activity and on the training of more than 10.000 health care professionals trained form the University of Barcelona through the Transplant Procurement Program since 1991 in this field.KeTLOD project will facilitate the design of a postgraduate program in organ donation field, for the Chinese health care professionals’ customized to their needs that will be implemented in 7 Universities. The KeTLOD curriculum is conceived as blended training program, in accordance with European Space for Higher Education guidelines and will offer knowledge and experience in clinical approach, management and dissemination strategies in Organ Donation. KeTLOD consist in a 625 hours program that will lead to 25 ETCS.KeTLOD will empower professional competences; enhance the detection and referral of potential donors and encourage a positive attitude towards donation in the society. KeTLOD; customized to the Chinese health professional needs, translated in Chinese language and shaped as blended training course, implemented in 7 crucial universities in terms of educational background and capacity and their geographical position will be a great

Chronic diseases (CD) are the cause of 70% of all global deaths. Organ transplantation (tx) is the only treatment with long term perspectives for patients who suffer from end stage organ failure (ESOF), induced mostly by CD. Asia has the lowest rate of organ tx and the greatest growth rate of people entering chronic and ESOF. A recent analysis shows that education is one of the drivers to improve the number of well-trained specialists, and thus the delivery of care to patients with ESOF. ODISSeA proposes suitably adapted and accredited postgraduate curricula in organ donation for specialists. The program will start with a preliminary Training for trainers’ program for future local trainers to ensure the efficient implementation of the postgraduate program in their universities during and after the project lifecycle. Together with a pool of 40 future students and EU experts they will design, validate and develop the Postgraduate Training Program in Organ Donation (30 ECTS) based on a student centred lifelong learning strategy. The program will include face to face and online components, on three levels of difficulty, from level 1 (basics/awareness) consisting of multimedia educational capsules, motion graphics & storytelling, to level 2 (medium), with webinars to boost debates and engage participants, and finally, level 3 (advanced/high), where participants will be encouraged to continue with in-depth online interactive modules (self-training) and local seminars.On-the-job improvement projects will help them apply the knowledge & skills acquired to their professional contexts and propose improving plans with measurable outcomes. The project will involve different stakeholders to maximize impact on HEI systems in SEA, on direct program beneficiaries: 40 trainers, 280 students, 400 attendees in the informative events as well as indirect ones: patients, work peers, hospitals, organ donation systems, with the ultimate goal of improving the delivery of care to patients
