Baltic University Programme is a network of about 230 universities and other institutes on higher learning in the countries of Baltic Sea region as well as countries near the basin, which are: Czech Republic, Norway, Slovakia and Ukraine. Ternopil State Medical University is a partner of BUP since 2016.\u00a0Hubert Mikosza<\/strong>, fourth year Faculty of Medicine student,\u00a0 took part in SAIL (Sustainability Applied in International Learning)\u00a0summer conference, which started on 4 September 2018 in Szczecin and finished on 18 September 2018 in Stravanger (Norway) and was conducted at sea on-board the tall ship Fryderyk Chopin. Also participants had an opportunity to visit Visby on Gotland in Sweden. The SAIL included students from 26 member universities of 11 countries. The SAIL summer conference was focused on different thematic areas of sustainability, such as: environment, energy, climate, technology, economy, social science, education,\u00a0etc.<\/p>\n

On board the sailing vessel all students and teachers acted as a working crew, keeping all duties (navigation, deck, and kitchen) \u2013 around-the-clock. What is more, in the meantime there were lectures and group-projects for students.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThose were one of the most challenging two weeks in a long time in my life. The schedule is completely different from what one might expect from usual conferences. The program included many activities, from hard around-the-clock work on board of the ship, to really interesting discussions and programs which were organized in the meantime. Even what was considered a difficult duty, cooking with the cook from early morning, was really satisfying, because I have never cooked on board of a ship, and my dreams just came true. Moreover I have always dreamed of visiting Sweden and Norway and now I know that they will be my next destination, because I fell in love with these landscapes and architecture\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cTogether with teachers, we became a one team, having common work, projects, inspiring conversation and discussions. I think one of the most incredible features of SAIL was a big diversity of really intelligent students from 26 universities studying at different faculties. We had never-ending topics to discuss, share many ideas and inspiration\u201d.<\/p>\n

The conference program gave an overview of the current situation including the most important issues of sustainability. Students participated in project work, presentations, lectures and discussions about sustainability, climate change, environmental protection and also some issues of health care.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was really surprised with variety of topics we have discussed. Besides sustainability issues, environmental changes, there were lectures on stress management and experiments led by prof. Jonas Bergquist. The research performed with participation of crew and students on board of Fryderyk Chopin ship, monitoring blood pressure changes during the sail, was really interesting for me as a medical student. I think everyone had chance to find some facets of their own specialty to share\u00a0 with others\u201d.<\/p>\n

Participants had also an opportunity to improve their team work skills, to learn different methods to increase work productivity,\u00a0 and to find out how to successfully organize a work project. A method called Design Thinking (DT), which helps in searching\u00a0 for creative solutions and effective solving the problems, was used for the work project.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe lectures which took place at Uppsala University campus in Gotland were incredibly fascinating. \u00a0I learned about many helpful tools, which definitely I will use in my student work, research and also my leadership as a president of Polish Students\u2019 Association. I feel I improved my group projects skills and now I know how to organize my time efficiently. My future projects as well as other tasks will utilize results of our project on zero waste societies and Design Thinking (DT) as a one of the main tools.\u201d<\/p>\n
