sources, digital books and papers on high sensitivity, dating violence in youth
and pharmaceutical care, respectively. The main goal of the E-motion project
was to develop, test and implement a comprehensive model of support for
highly sensitive children in preschool and early-school age. E-motion resulted
in the preparation of an online platform containing a set of questionnaires
for high sensitivity assessment as well as educational materials and materials
that support work with highly sensitive children for parents and teachers (for
teaching staff), the organization of workshops for teaching staff at the inter-
national and national levels by every partner institution, as well as theoretical
documents such as handbooks, compendiums and frameworks regarding
high senstivity (Baryła-Matejczuk et al, ). Lights4Violence Project, Lights,
Camera and Action against Dating Violence, focused on promoting adoles-
cents’ capabilities to improve their intimate relationships with their peers
through different activities such as seminars with teachers ‘Promoting Pro-
tective Assets Related to Violence Together’, Workshop with adolescents from
different countries ‘Filming Together to See Ourselves in a New Present’, Short
film exhibitions with participants, their families, authorities and other stake-
holders from different cultural backgrounds; Teaching guides for the use of
short films and Computer-based evaluation system (Vives-Cases et al., 19).
However the new era projects have contributed further to a one-world digital
education characterised for being inclusive, gender-based, culturally-sensi-
tive, congruent and competent as well as environmentally-friendly, which is
another positive point of digital education compared with traditional face-to-
face education. In this context, the objectives of GNurseSIM, a European Com-
mission funded Project under Erasmus+ are to support HEIs to provide stu-
dents in geriatric nursing with opportunities during their training to practise
skills of adopting a multidisciplinary holistic approach to the care of older pa-
tients throughout the High Fidelity Simulation approach (Lillo-Crespo, ;
Grochowska et al., 3). This will be achieved by combining elements from
different approaches to arrive at a unified model and develop an intercultural,
culture-sensitive geriatric nursing course, as well as recommendations and
guidelines regarding the implementation of the course and possibilities it of-
fers to other areas of nursing. Moreover another case of good practice to be
pointed out are HEALINT and HEALINT4ALL Projects, both of them supported
by the European Commission, whose aim was to support students from the
field of health in participating in best practice environments (Jankowicz-Szy-
mańska et al., 3). They started from the rationale that quality processes
must be in place and these require innovation to assure audit material re-
sources that are fit for purpose, can work well within the situation and provide
