Twinnet<br />

Improving mobility among European students<br />

Twinnet is a mobility programme that fulfills all the<br />

expectations of travel lovers. It is a programme<br />

where you can discover new cultures, make friends<br />

for life and get out of your comfort zone.<br />

This programme aims to promote and increase<br />

students mobility across Europe, through the<br />

exchange of good practices between 2, 3 or 4<br />

groups of students from different countries.<br />

It is through non formal education that students<br />

develop themselves and exchange good practices.<br />

Twinnet dreams bigger. Twinnet is a project that goes<br />

beyond the borders of pharmacy and it is much<br />

more than making exchanges among pharmacy<br />

students. It is inestimable, the positive outcomes<br />

can come out of interprofessional exchange. The Interprofessional<br />

Twinnet between different healthcare<br />

areas provide students with a different perspective<br />

on healthcare and allows them to exchange ideas,<br />

concerns and practices.<br />

The Portuguese – Norwegian Twinnet<br />

When people from two countries with a remarkable contrast decided to embrace the unknown and discover<br />

the differences between both cultures, it is when a new adventure “EPSA Twinnet Project Lisbon – Bergen”<br />

started. We had the opportunity to learn about pharmacy in Norway and noticed the gaps that clearly exist<br />

between different schools of pharmacy in these two entities of Europe. At the same time, we discovered<br />

a new world full of possibilities, which was extremely<br />

enriching for our professional future. Twinnet is also<br />

about cultural sharing and it is the perfect opportunity<br />

to broaden our horizons and increase our cultural Mariana Mousinho<br />

knowledge. The Norwegian team provided us with a<br />

quite rich social programme where we could not only<br />

Twinnet participant<br />

experience the mountains and Norway’s pure nature but<br />

also the best attractions and sights in Bergen.<br />
