- understand/define, develop and promote good practices in supporting families to plan for a future where a person with chronically ill/disabilities is providing care to their elderly carers through the concept of 'mutual caring'; by this work we'll advocate to redefine the terms 'care' and 'dependency' into 'mutual care' and 'interdependency'
- introduce new concepts/approaches of 'mutuality and resonance', 'collaborative care', 'mutual approach' as the cornerstone in facilitating education, health/social care programs
- identify, collect, share and exchange best knowledge and practices in which each partner has experience regarding mutualistic relationships
- create M-CARE website to offer free resources to carers, patients/people with disabilities and care professionals on how to cope their common problems
- to be a learning experience that will improve our intercultural competencies, learning/training opportunities in EU member countries and organizations
- contribute to EU priorities: access to e-learning opportunities for people with disability, health, lifelong learning even for our elderly learners
The project basic premise is that mutual caring understanding and transfer (routines and ways of coping developed by families through both the caring person and affected person are looking after each other) can provide the basis for an innovative learning approach, in which "mutual care" and "interdependency" should underlie educational topics on disability issues.
The introduction and practical application of these new concepts (but universally applicable) into care process can lead to innovative strategies that are sustainable and cost neutral. We'll identify, collect, share and exchange best knowledge and practices in which each partner has experience regarding mutualistic relationships; we'll create a website to offer free resources to carers, patients/people with disabilities and care professionals on how to cope their common problems; we'll provide expertise and support to authorities to build up evidence of how to develop a coordinated response for supporting people who are providing mutual care.
The project is based on participants-led objectives, starts with efficient organization for preparatory work (research by case studies, demands/needs analyze), continues with project activities (meetings/workshops/ seminars conceptualized for each target group), develops project outputs (workshops, know how transfer, M-CARE website/handbooks), reverberates in all partners joined-up strategy for dissemination of project new concepts and findings, every participant becoming a project multiplier.
