This, of course, directly impacts the students learning experience at university and when doing practical placement; <strong>the way teachers and mentors relate to students is key to<\/strong> providing <strong>a safe and encouraging learning environment<\/strong> to ensure best learning outcomes for future professionals.<\/p>\n<p>We aim to <strong>improve competencies of teachers and mentors<\/strong> <strong>to<\/strong> <strong>help students<\/strong> along so they <strong>spend<\/strong> <strong>less effort and time<\/strong> <strong>and<\/strong> still <strong>have<\/strong> <strong>a great time studying and learning new skills<\/strong> for their profession.<\/p>\n<p>This leaves more time for travelling around and hiking a mountain peak, soaking in a different culture, sightseeing historical monuments and having a taste of the local cuisine. \u00a0This also encourages students to learn how to cope and deal with cultures different from their own, a very practical skill for later in the professional career.
