Intercultural Communication and English Language Skills Development in Part-time Nursing Students

Bjelovar University of Applied Sciences is the coordinator of the project INCLUDE (Intercultural Communication and Linguistic Upgrade in a Digital Environment) funded by the Erasmus+ KA2 Strategic Partnership. The main objective of the project INCLUDE is to improve the employability of students on a global scale providing an inclusive, progressive and high-quality language and communication course in a range of languages (English, Croatian, Portuguese, Greek) at higher education institutions across Europe. Thirty students from three higher education institutions from Croatia, Greece and Portugal are participating in the project. Some of them are part-time nursing students who usually have less opportunity to participate in international student mobility as they are mostly working. The paper presents the results of a study conducted within the INCLUDE project, which involved 70 subjects, students of the Bjelovar University of Applied Sciences. The results of the research show students' attitudes on some aspects of international mobility, intercultural, multicultural team communication, the use of digital tools and the importance of educating students on these topics.
