The project develops the job description of the instructor in hospital education and the multidisciplinary network cooperation that requires special support.

The aim is to seek working methods for networking and to prevent early school leaving, marginalisation and inequality of children and young people.The short-term impact will be the development of the schooling capacity of the children and young people involved in the project. The long-term impact is the prevention of early school leaving, exclusion and inequality, as well as the development of multi-professional networking in hospital education. The young people participating in the project have received support in applying for further training, completing studies and thus supporting vocational skills and integration into the labour market.
