Fall in Love with Slovenia

In the heart of Europe lies a secret; diverse landscape, enduring culture and an infectious optimism for the future. Small in size, yet colossal in personality, Slovenia is at the crossroads of Europe; where the north meets the south and the east meets the west; where the Mediterranean meets the Alps and the old meets the new.

Nestled between Italy, Austria, Croatia and Hungary, Slovenia was once a part of the Austro-Hungarian

thEmpire (from the middle of the 13 century until World War 1) and, in more recent times, one of the 6 member republics of the former Yugoslavia. Today, Slovenia is an independent country, in its own right, and in June 2008 will come to the end of its spell as holders of the EU Presidency.

Slovenia’s history is fascinatingly rich and astonishingly varied. Through the centuries, parts of Slovenia

have belonged with many of their neighbors yet it is this flexibility to survive under different regimes, traditions and language which makes Slovenia what it is today; a dynamic modern country with its values firmly planted in the past.

This bright young thing of Europe packages up centuries of European customs and architecture, yet its inhabitants will happily greet you in English, German, Italian, or Slovene. If there was ever a close cousin to

Switzerland, Slovenia is it. By name Slovenia is often confused with Slovakia (Slovakia once being part of the former Czechoslovakia) but by nature it is very different.

Compact in size, at just over 20,000 kilometres2, Slovenia is a mélange of mountains and natural parks, historical cit ies and breathtaking underground caves, Mediterranean coastline and the famous Lipica horses (once supplied to the Spanish riding school in Vienna). Hundreds of events

I-4

and festivals are held throughout the year and the list of castles and museums goes on and on.

For the visitor there are enough activities, attractions and experiences to keep you entertained for weeks on end, however, if you are planning an extended trip to Europe it serves as a convenient and affordable base. Unlike its western neighbors; Italy and Austria, the €Euro goes a little bit further for a whole lot more. At just under two hours drive away Venice is an easy day trip and, at the end of the day, you can leave the crowds behind and return to

the peace, tranquility and award winning food and wine of Slovenia.

Inspired by the love he felt for his homeland Slovenian writer Ivan Cankar once wrote “A happy people will live in this place, their language will be a song and their song, a jubilation”.

Slovenia has all that Europe has to offer rolled into one. Accessible, affordable and appealing. Come and feel Slovenia for yourself.

PART II

Intensive programme 2009:International Summer School 2009

Dear students, professors and all other interested!

Your ability to learn faster than your competition is your only sustainable competitive advantage

Arie de Gues

Creativity is a type of learning process where the teacher and pupil are located in the same individual.

Arthur Koestler

The debate around health care and health care issues in Europe has become increasingly burning and controversial. This is due to the urgent need for change and reform which has become obvious especially after the recent demographic changes, global health problems, enormous scientific developments in health care and last but not least economic crisis we are just facing. In response The Faculty of Health Sciences University of Maribor in the cooperation and help of the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences University of Surrey, and University College Dublin have organize the Summer School “Healthy living-HEALTH”. The learning experience during the two weeks is based on two quotes above:

?to enable students to learn efficiently and effectively in the manner to outscore the “competition”; and ?to invoke the students creativity encouraging both the teacher and pupil hidden in each individual to

talk with each other;

Theoretical lectures are supplemented by interactive sessions including formal and informal discussions, brain-storming, shared-learning, team work, excursions as well as a hands-on practical exercise in working groups. These groups will work together as a team throughout two weeks. They will be assigned a case study/scenario related to health care issues and problems and they will be given a number of tasks/questions. The final results of their work will be presented as poster and evaluated by the evaluation committee according to pre-defined criteria.

The primary objectives of the summer school are:?Initiate an interdisciplinary and multisectoral knowledge exchange in principles and concepts of health

care, health care informatics and related disciplines.?Provide an overview of influencing factors and aspects of recent health care issues.?Provide an understanding of the tools and methods of health care research and decision making?Provide skills and knowledge to become a proactive player in health care systems?Contribute to the formation of an international and interdisciplinary networks.

University of MariborFaculty of Health Sciences

Welcome at the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Maribor. I am sure that you will find something interesting or useful here irrespective to who you are – a student, professor, an applicant for undergraduate or graduate studies, a partner for possible cooperation or maybe only as a coincidental visitor. In its 14 years old history our institution has experienced intensive development, which has been recognised by many institutions in Europe, United States of America and elsewhere.

The Faculty started as the Graduate School of Nursing Studies founded by the National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia by the law of founding of the Graduate School of Nursing Studies in Maribor in 1993. According to the Ordinance on Transformation of the University of Maribor of 1 January 1995 it was transformed into the University College of Nursing Studies, University of Maribor. Further development was very intensive in the field of research, as well as in pedagogical and scientific activities. As the first in Slovenia we developed and implemented the undergraduate study programme in line with the European directives for regulated profession. In the academic year 2007/2008 we opened the door to students on the two postgraduate study programmes – masters study programme Nursing Care and masters study programme Bioinformatics.

Due to the positive trends in the healthcare system such as shortening of hospitalisation, establishing the ethical principle, which enables a patient to refuse their involvement in educational process we are the first in the area of former country of Yugoslavia and first in Slovenia to follow modern trends in education in nursing care and health care, and we founded the first Simulation Centre in Slovenia where the students of nursing care and medicine as well as the other health care professionals acquire basic and additional knowledge in the field of emergency medicine, basic life support and other fields.

As a consequence of scientific development and exceptional research achievements the University College of Nursing Studies in accordance with the Ordinance of Transformation of University College of Nursing

Studies of the University of Maribor adopted on 27 December in the National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia transformed into the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Maribor on 12 March 2007. Both the staff at the faculty as well as the students are proud of this achievement because we acquired the first and the only Faculty of Health Sciences in Slovenia.

There are 1500 students studying at the faculty. Half of them are full-time students and the other half part-time students on both undergraduate and postgraduate study programmes. The

II-4

graduates from Nursing Care study programme of the Faculty of Health Sciences (until today more then 2000 students have graduated) are highly wanted staff in Slovenia as well as in the European Union member states.

Transformation in the Faculty of Health Sciences is a great acknowledgement for the achievements made so far. At the same time it binds us to the growth and development of Health sciences in the field of education as well as the research.

In the Faculty of Health Sciences we will keep contributing to Slovene excellence, reputation and prosperity of the University of Maribor, recognisability of Maribor as an University City and region in the European area as well as world wide with research achievements, education of professionals, researches, with establishing new interdisciplinary study programmes and with the generating of the latest knowledge aiming to improve the quality of life, and by enriching research environment of the region, Slovenia and wider. Our work will be guided by the following principles: ?People are always the most important;?Relationships are based on honesty; ?Diversity of people and ideas is welcomed; ?Conflicts are creative source of new ideas;?Discussions are academic; ?Excellence is realized by team work;?Dedication to intellectual achievements is highly appreciated.
