The content of the training was mostly about the pedagogy/theory of learning and teaching as well as practical approaches to developing and delivering teaching and educational activities. The topics that were included in the training: engaging with stakeholders, setting aims and objectives, course design, approaches to teaching, assessment and evaluation. There were also discussed following themes:

*   Different teaching and learning approaches  - how to find a good balance?

*   Is there any space for e-learning in medical curriculum?

*   Student engagement – how to motivate students for the independent learning and improvement of practical skills?

*   Feedback  in curriculum development

*   Transferable skills – should we address them in the medical/veterinary curriculum?

The training was conducted in the frames of Horizon 2020 project SEARMET.
