Abstract:	Purpose: The purpose of this presentation is to Inform, Inspire and Involve other midwives, lecturers and students. In the presentation the Why, What and How of the international collaborative educational module will be a central part of the discussion. Discussion: Why? Nowadays midwives are facing a variety of local and global challenges. Many of the challenges midwives face in their own country have similarities in other countries and can be interconnected with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s). We believe future midwives can effectively address some of the local challenges and to make an important first step towards a better world for women and their families. What? In the process, we designed an international collaborative education module for 3rd year midwifery students from ZHAW(Switzerland) and Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences (the Netherlands). How? Within the education module the future midwives work on their leadership and international competences. The collaboration takes place online. The future midwives are allocated to small groups. Each group consisting of both Dutch and Swiss students develop and present a small but innovative midwifery project which includes: 1. a scientifically based argumentation for their chosen midwifery challenge including the link to the SDG’s 2. an achievable project goal 3. a demonstration of strong midwifery leadership competences 4. clear steps toward the realization of the project-goal During the presentation we will share and reflect on some results, figures and insights of three years’ experience with the new educational module. Application to the elements of the ICM’s Professional Framework for Midwifery Education, Leadership competences and research competences Key message: Be inspired. Be informed, Be involved. Together we reflect on creating the opportunity for future midwives to make the difference! Because future midwives can make the difference!
