OMAHA: Organizing and Co-Determination - Action Research for mobile Nursing Care.

Displaced nursing activities are difficult to organize from an labour union perspective and from the perspective of nursing staff the co-determination of mobile home nursing needs to be significantly strengthened. In the spirit of participatory action research, the OMAHA project attempts to address the challenges of co-determination and organizing in this special field and wants to develop concrete improvements together with works councils, chamber representatives and nursing staff. To do this, OMAHA uses the theoretical concept of Organizing and the Labor Union Revitalization Studies. The project developed a research process that develops training workshops in form of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) to carry the topic of co-determination and organizing into mobile nursing companies and can thus have a broad impact. Information is exchanged in recurring feedback loops and finally transformed into prototypes by design sprints.
