Peer tutors in teaching

The Peer Educators in Teaching Conference was held on May 24, 2023.

The conference, which also featured speakers from Norway and the Netherlands, gave an insight into how the experience of recovery from mental illness can be used in education. The conference, which is one of the activities of the project "Innovation and Development of Mental Health Courses" funded by the EEA Grants 2014-2021, Education Programme, was organised by the Department of Social Work at the University of Applied Sciences and other project partners such as the Centre for the Development of Mental Health Care and the Norwegian city of Bergen also contributed to the programme. "On Wednesday, the auditorium was filled with a number of friendly people interested in lived experience and its application in education, the conference was accompanied by original songs on the theme of recovery and peerism, as well as an accompanying program in the form of a CARe Platform meeting and a subsequent workshop on collaborative research,"  said Vlasta Řezníková, PhD, from the Department of Social Work.

The Innovation and Development of Mental Health Courses project has received a grant from the EEA Grants 2014-2021, Education Programme, funded by Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.
