Aim
The overall aim of the workgroup Facilitation of Learning (FoL) is to facilitate members of ENPHE and other stakeholders to acquire and manage with information and knowledge concerning contemporary and innovative approaches to learning and teaching in physiotherapy (PT) education and to improve their competences in this field.
The mission of this working group is to collaboratively develop a practical, evidence-informed toolbox of best practices that supports high-quality learning in physiotherapy education. By bringing together educators, researchers, and practitioners, we aim to identify, share, and refine effective facilitation strategies that enhance student engagement, critical thinking, and professional competence.
This toolbox addresses the need for accessible, adaptable, and pedagogically sound resources that educators can use across diverse teaching contexts. By focusing on facilitation of learning, rather than solely on teaching methods, the initiative supports a shift toward learner-centered education, fostering lifelong learning skills essential for physiotherapy professionals.

- PROJECT 6 – PICTURING THE FUTURE OF PHYSIOTHERAPY -Photovoice is a visual method of participatory intervention consisting in using photography’s, made by participants, and the comments they produce collectively to stimulate critical reflection and critical thinking on some specific topic (for more information you could read Wang’s paper https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9158980). Aim: To define new ways of understanding physiotherapy and its skills through photography. To stimulate artistic strategies to develop physiotherapy critical thinking.
