EU and non-EU countries have a shared responsibility to protect the rights of migrants on the move, regardless of their legal status. Transcultural competence will enable nurses to respect the human dignity and human rights of migrants. Cooperation between EU and non-EU countries is also important for facilitating the integration of migrants into their host societies. Understanding the differences between cultural values, peoples’ morals, and national versus EU legislation can reduce the likelihood of ethical problems, disappointments, and illegal activities. The aim of these transcultural educational programs is to promote a more humane and sustainable approach to the nursing care and education of migrants. The goal for the programs is to ensure that nurses have the knowledge, attitude, and skills to treat the migrants fairly when providing basic healthcare services for them. In line with the regional priority to “support innovation and reform within the education sector that address the skills needs for the labor market of tomorrow”, the cocreation of a new study program focused on transcultural competence, implemented in nursing curricula in beneficiary HEI in the WB will benefit both the educators and the students. This new curriculum will also support students in caring for new populations and people on the move, as well as students with migration backgrounds entering studying in WB
