Abstract
The access to and awareness of palliative care in Ethiopia is very low, while the need for palliative care is high due to high prevalence of cancer and HIV. Furthermore, Ethiopia faces multiple challenges to meet the WHO’s goals for achieving the palliative care in 2030 due to the fragile health care delivery system, lack of community based palliative care model, the lack of palliative care awareness among staff members, and inadequate research on palliative care. This project strives to improve the overall awareness and competences (knowledge, skills, attitudes) in healthcare students and professionals in a professional environment (Jimma University and Jimma University Medical Centre (JUMC)) and in the community. An educational programme will be developed as well as a local and (inter)national network regarding holistic interdisciplinary palliative care. This project will reinforce the relationship between JUMC and the community, leading towards higher awareness and accessibility of holistic interdisciplinary palliative care.

Abstract
Teacher education is the main pathway to ensure that changes can be sustained over time and for several generations. The 4 South-partners of Ecuador, Cambodia, South Africa and Ethiopia will collaborate with PXL University of Applied Sciences and Arts to offer a communal innovative and practice-based International Training Programme for teacher trainers and pre-service students. From every university at least two Teacher Trainers, where at least 40% of all candidates are female. Through the enrolment of all participants (future change agents) in an e-course, during the pre-training programme, we create a Professional Learning Community (PLC). During a specific training week, and in cooperation with LABIOMISTA, participants will collaborate on educational topics and exchange inclusive teaching practices. Also, a practice-based culturally sensitive framework and hands-on toolkit will be introduced as a ‘guideline’ for future lesson plans. During the post-training programme participants stay connected through the e-course and the project of ‘My Equator’.
