This student programme is part of the Annual conference organised by COHEHRE (Consortium on Higher Education within Health Care and Rehabilitation).
COHEHRE is a non-profit organisation aiming to bring together students and academic staff from member higher education institutions across Europe. We are committed to promoting, developing and supporting interprofessional learning, teaching and research as well as improving collaborative practice and enhancing strategic management.

Why Ghent?
· Because Lonely Planet has called our city “Europe’s best kept secret” and a must see destination for 2011.
· Because National Geographic Traveler Magazine has listed this city as the most authentic historic city in the world and full of life.
· Because you must witness with your own eyes what Napoleon and the mysterious thief of ‘The Just Judges’ panel already knew: The Mystic Lamb really is key to European art history.
· Because the city comes to life again after sunset.
· And of course because you like to get off the beaten track!
Preparatory assignments and closed Facebook group: The organization of the course consists of two parts. The expected outcomes of preparatory assignments (module) based on distance learning result in a 5-day intensive program with activities taking place in a multi-professional and multicultural context. The preparatory assignments are included in this letter.
A Play on Reality - Prosthesis theatre on inclusion: On Monday, we will attend a ‘try-out performance’ of a group of clients of the University hospital in Ghent. The clients worked together with an occupational therapist and a dance/movement performer in developing a theater/dance/movement performance related to the coping process of their disability. We will have a discussion with both professionals about the process and the performance. The Dutch article published in the local Newspaper is below. Venue: Minard showburg: Walpoortstraat 15, Gent
