The project aims to:
– Raise awareness amongst partner countries and at a European level on the importance of delivering informal trainings to support people looking after patients with dementia;
– Develop useful training materials that can be further used aiming better assistance to families and people with dementia;
– Create a European network for the exchange of best practices, essential for future policymakers and for planning better strategies on the topic of dementia;
– Develop free and open-for-all learning materials to ease the social and economic burden of families with people suffering from dementia;
– Enhance the quality of support that families and professionals working with PwD provide them, thanks to mind-stimulating activities based on non-formal education methodologies and cognitive stimulation;
– Build awareness on the lesser-known symptoms of dementia and develop greater empathy towards people suffering from dementia, eliminating the stigma around dementia within society.
