After the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, it became increasingly obvious that tourism is one of the most sensitive sectors of the economy. University courses must also follow the development that is occurring in the area due to the restart of the economy. Higher education must also prepare for these changes by modernizing the curriculum, and the changes in everyday tourism habits must be offered to our students up close. The aim of the HEAL ALL project is to promote the international cooperation of health tourism educational institutions, develop a common curriculum, and create international practical opportunities for students, within the framework of which they can gain international professional experience and language skills. Two higher education institutions participate in the project: the Faculty of Health of the University of Debrecen and the Csíkszereda Faculty of the Sapientia Transylvanian Hungarian University. The educational offer of both faculties includes tourism and its various fields. The domestic partner of the cooperation is INNOVA Észak-Alföldi Nonprofit Kft., and the foreign partner is Marco Polo G.E.I.E. Association (Italy).

The main elements of the project are a website that mediates internships abroad, through which students from tourism fields can apply for internships abroad controlled by higher education institutions, as well as joint curriculum development, in the framework of which twenty subjects and topics will be jointly developed. Some of the subjects are taught using the e-Twinning methodology at the two higher education institutions. In addition to the main elements, accompanying events and training will also be organized.
