What are we working on at the moment?
With the growing trends in ageing population and life expectancy and the flaws and gaps of the long-term care (LTC) system in Europe, the ICWE project focuses on Informal Carers’ (ICs) well-being and support for information and practical skills to facilitate their role as caretakers.
Aims and Objectives
The project aims to improve the conditions of ICs in their role as caretakers by addressing their needs for information and training, professional support, effective communication with care professionals, and improved well-being.
Specific Objectives
• Empowering informal carers and adult educators/care workers to better address ICs needs for support and well-being in their lives
• Capacitating ICs in their role of caretakers and addressing well-being as a main factor to be considered
• Capacitating care workers for their work with ICs
• Developing practical tools and resources to facilitate the achievement of the previous goals
