Survey on the provision of health and social care
to older persons
Are you a practitioner (e.g., nurse, social worker, personal assistant, informal caregiver, medical practitioner, etc.) providing health or social care to older persons? If so, please participate in the St@ndbyMe survey (available in 7 languages)
The "@" symbol in our logo represents our mission's digital focus and underscores our dedication to using technology to empower older individuals. The inclusion of a head and arms in the symbol, safeguarding a bird, represents our commitment to protecting human rights, promoting independence, and ensuring privacy as essential aspects of our project.
How will we do it?
The project will introduce a rigorous human rights framework in the training activities within informal settings for digital literacy among older persons. The proposed actions include a variety of local and international training activities for practitioners, educational material that can support their work, an enhanced community of practise, field-testing the resources, and promotion and dissemination of an intervention model applicable at European level.
