MSH already included ICF-CY into training curricula on bachelor level and organised the 2nd and 6th ICF-CY AnwenderInnenkonferenz in DE 2014 and 2018.

Within previous Erasmus+ project MSH created training materials for medical doctors (see O2 within www.icfcy-meduse.eu) and certification criteria to become an ICF-trainer. MSH was also involved as a training providing partner in a large inclusion project in Nordrhein/Westfahlen concerning implementation of ICF in inclusive kindergarten.
