Abstract<\/strong>: Transcultural competencies in the Western Balkans (TCCWB) is a capacity building project that aims to support HEIs in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) and Albania to develop material to enable nursing students in the region to deliver culturally congruent (nursing) care to all care recipients, including those with migration backgrounds or on the migratory routes through Europe.<\/p>\n

EU and non-EU countries have a shared responsibility to protect the rights of migrants on the move, regardless of their legal status. Transcultural competence will enable nurses to respect the human dignity and human rights of migrants. Cooperation between EU and non-EU countries is also important for facilitating the integration of migrants into their host societies. Understanding the differences between cultural values, people's morals, and national versus EU legislation can reduce the likelihood of ethical problems, disappointments, and illegal activities. The aim of these transcultural educational programs is to promote a more humane and sustainable approach to the nursing care and education of migrants. The goal for the programs is to ensure that nurses have the knowledge, attitude, and skills to treat the migrants fairly when providing basic healthcare services for them. In line with the regional priority to "support innovation and reform within the education sector that addresses the skills needs for the labor market of tomorrow", the co-creation of a new study program focused on transcultural competence, implemented in nursing curricula in beneficiary HEIs in the WB will benefit both the educators and the students. This new curriculum will also support students in caring for new populations and people on the move, as well as students with migration backgrounds entering studying in WB<\/p>\n

Main Objective<\/strong>: Development and innovation of teaching methodologies to integrate transcultural competencies in (pre and post-registration) nursing education in order to increase the skills of the health care workforce. This project responds to the call by developing future-oriented curricula that better meets the needs of nursing students and nurses by developing content (transcultural nursing) and delivery methods (distance and digital learning) that support nursing students, faculty and practicing nurses in becoming more competent caregivers able to meet increasingly complex needs. This project encourages the development and implementation of digital higher education and mainstreams digitalization in the nursing curriculum. Through focusing on the most vulnerable and emphasizing the health care recipients' values, beliefs, and customs and how someone's way of life, their modes of thought, and their unique customs, this project helps to lay the foundations for strengthening active citizenship in nursing students and faculty in Albania and BiH. Finally, by focusing on transcultural communication in all areas of healthcare (primary and tertiary care, community nursing, etc.) this project is relevant to the call by developing education to build 'soft skills' for life and work.<\/p>\n
