Purpose
Meeting the growing needs of aging people with disabilities by providing essential support to professionals and family carers in the field of disability and older adult services.
Objectives and Outcomes
- Empowering carers and professionals: The project aims to provide comprehensive training for professionals, family caregivers and others who support people with disabilities. This training will focus on equipping those working in the disability and older adult care sectors with the skills and knowledge needed to effectively address the complex needs of older adults with disabilities.
- Promoting inclusion and dignity: A key objective of the project is to promote social inclusion, ensure self-determination and uphold the dignity of persons with disabilities as they age. By improving support and ensuring their right to live independently, the project will help people with disabilities lead fulfilling lives as they age.
- Raise awareness: The project also aims to highlight the unique challenges faced by older adults with disabilities. Awareness-raising initiatives will engage professionals, families, carers and the wider public to promote greater understanding and encourage the creation of a more inclusive and supportive society for ageing people with disabilities.
AGE role
AGE will co-lead the dissemination and communication of the project at European Level and will organise the final event of the project.
