Through Reusable Learning Objects (RLOs) and their combination into a MOOC, “ReHIn” will foster respect and understanding for diversity in Health, intercultural and civic competencies, but also it will enable health values and citizenship within the EU.
Upon completion of the MOOC, we hope learners will:
