Welcome to the 1st newsletter for the “Dignity in Care” 

project. Full details about the project and how to get 

involved can be found at:  

http://www.dignity-in-care.eu/

Partners from Flanders, Belgium; Zeeland, the Netherlands; Lille, France 

and Dorset, England joined forces and expertise to set up this project led 

by KAHO Sint-Lieven. 

Over the next 3 years the project, supported by the European Union’s 

INTERREG IVA 2 Seas programme, will enable students and care providers  

in health and social care organizations to improve dignity and patient centered 

care. It will provide access to experience based learning in the sTimul  

care-ethics facilities and help participants from the different areas learn  

from each other. 

The project will support 24 separate training courses run in both sTimul sites 

providing intensive learning opportunities for around 400 participants from 

the four partner regions. This is a learning project where the results of the 

evaluation will improve training and practice delivery.

sTimul

 is an ambitious collaborative project between education and care providers. It approaches care 

from a framework of thinking and doing, thinking again and acting better. Simulating helps learning in 

surprising ways, improving ideas and practice. This leads to further reflection and allows for renewed 

enthusiasm for the profession.

Enhancing ethical practice and critical reflection by the sTimul 

experience in a care ethics lab



Some impressions of the sTimul facility, Moorsele

Existing care professionals and students training to enter the profession in the project regions will have 

the opportunity to learn at a sTimul facility. The international facilitators and student trainers who will 

prepare the future learners have already visited the sTimul. Here are some of their comments:

“During those two days, I lived a human and professional adventure that is at the heart of our occupation. This 

experience allows us to take a step back from our practices and re-examine the meaning behind the analysis of 

practices that we carry out with students. But it is emotionally draining.”  

Catherine Lefebvre,

 health trainer sector, IFsanté (Health Training Institute), Lille Catholic University

“What I’ll take from this experience is that ‘everyone should be treated by others as a person,’ Every caregiver 

should test his or her ‘good care practices’ on him or herself”  

Bénédicte Dengremont,

 trainer at IKPO (Massage Therapy School, Lille Catholic University)

“It was very helpful to have this experience in order to prepare stimulants for their experience in sTimul. I really 

think it will help a lot. Because now, from my own experience, I have insight. I prefer that over a story told”. 

Alet Veldhuis,

 practical trainer and ethicist, ZorgSaam

“Strangely it can make you feel alone even when surrounded by lots of other people. It has made me look at the 

way in which I provide care to others and has left me with a better understanding of what caring for people is all 

about. It is not just about health and safety, and risk assessments, but is about really getting to know the person 

you are looking after”.

Project Launch Conference  

On the 24th of October 2011 INTERREG IVA 2 Seas project 7-029-BE_Dignity-in-Care project was 

launched at a conference held in Moorsele, Belgium. The president of sTimul, Hilde Van Der Donckt 

gave a warm welcome at the official start of this international project. 

Leen Stevens, Chair of the Project management Group, explained the eight main goals and objectives of the 

project. In addition to offering participation at the sTimul training facilities, knowledge will be shared and cross 

border study visits arranged. sTimul as a learning tool will be evaluated and refined throughout the project.  

A competition was held to design a project logo. The winning entry reflects the dignity and love of giving care 

symbolized by the tree of life.

Copies of the presentations given at the launch are available at www.dignity-in-care.eu
