HOPE: E-learning for students

Welcome to the HOPE e-learning! This e-learning is suitable for all caregivers who want to be introduced to climate change, heat waves, its consequences for older people and effective interventions. We have built this e-learning based on the WHO report on climate change and its consequences.

The relevant chapters in line with the goal of this e-learning are rebuilt as a module; these chapters are obligated (‘need to know’). The other chapters of the report can be regarded as facultative (or additional information). Under each module, you will find references and tasks

Heat-related (and thus climate-related) health problems can be addressed at several levels. Also, we distinguish between interventions to overcome acute health problems and interventions aimed at the prevention of health problems. This means that addressing the issue of heat-related health problems is for sure a task and knowledge area for health and social professionals. But to be effective and work on real prevention, housing professionals, urban planners, environmental and climate experts have a profound role to play. At all comes down to transdisciplinary cooperation and mutual understanding of the role each of them can and/or have to play.

You can use the material in this e-learning in several ways in order to increase your knowledge and understanding of the possible actions you can undertake from you professional perspective. Either start with the modules and try to make one or more present cases. Or start with one of the cases and use the information in the modules, a database of good practices, narratives of older adults and a database of articles to be able to gather the insights you need to work on these cases.

Upon completing this course, you will be equipped to effectively initiate and manage interactions at various levels, ensuring the protection of vulnerable individuals from the dangers of extreme heat. You will gain the knowledge and skills needed to take proactive measures, foster collaboration, and implement strategies that enhance resilience and safeguard those most at risk.

This course is designed for self-study, allowing you to learn at your own pace without direct guidance or supervision. All tests and assignments included are purely formative, meaning they are intended to help you assess your own understanding without being formally reviewed by an expert. You are encouraged to complete them as a way to reinforce your learning, but participation is entirely optional. Our goal is to provide you with a flexible and supportive learning experience that empowers you to deepen your knowledge in a way that best suits your needs.

Before you start: please read the instructions underneath (what is a Course, and the Moodle quick start) carefully!

Good luck!
