Objectives & Benefits
Create an ecosystem
The SimuVaction exercise is conceived as a way to create an 'ecosystem' through multi-layered objectives — from active learning to international thinking — with stakeholder representatives coming to an accord on common interests regarding digital matters applied to health care.
Practice 'active learning'
Fills the gap between studies and the professional world; offers an opportunity to discover oneself, out of one's comfort zone, on a professional stage; strengthens the links between knowledge, ways of doing and ways of being through multi-disciplinary teamwork.
Collaboration between academic institutions
Through preparation and the simulation game, collaboration between academic partners is under way. We hope the simulation will be a great milestone in strengthening and expanding such partnerships in higher education.
Develop international thinking
The project aims to reflect the 'think globally, act locally' motto. Local problems have global connections and implications that cannot be solved by individuals in a single country. Thinking globally requires both a sense of identification and enhanced creativity in problem-solving.
Engage with communities
Strengthens connections between academic, economic, institutional and non-profit actors. Provides an opportunity to work through the different facets of an issue by participating in expert conferences, creating contacts with Consulates of the represented delegation, and being coached by lobbyist teams from businesses, associations and NGOs.
