Caring & Sharing communities

The Erasmus+ project aims to enable older people in rural communities to grow old and live as independently as possible in their familiar surroundings and be able to actively participate in life in the community.

In cooperation with partner organizations from Germany, Italy and Austria, we develop curricula and training plans, as well as building blocks for caring communities.

Goals 

  •  recognizing the resources and needs of older people and responding to them in a needs-oriented manner

  • increase opportunities for older people to participate in social life

  •  counteract loneliness and integrate older people into a local social network

  • strengthening the personal resources and skills of older people

  • enable independent living
