CARER+ Project

CARER+ supports active ageing in a digital world by bridging the (digital) gap between young(er) and old(er). Supporting carers to use ICT in their professions for a better quality of life.

Education

An interdisciplinary and international team of 14 institutions launched the Carer+ project earlier this year for care-workers all around Europe. The project identifies and enhances ICT competences of care-workers who support older persons at home – anticipating a new and vital role for care workers. Introducing new, easy-to-use internet-based technology tools for older, in the next 3 years scientific research, a competence framework, curriculum and training tools in theory and practice, training for trainers and policy exchange visits as well as an open online learning space and community for care-workers will be put in place to realise the challenging aims of the project.
