European citizen ACting-FOR-DEPendent People = ACTing for Dependent People
Date du début: 1 nov. 2013,

In the context of the European Year of Active Citizenship, the participants in the ACTing for Dependent People project have set themselves the aim of designing and distributing on a European scale an awareness-raising and training kit to promote and reinforce citizens’ initiatives in favour of vulnerable groups within society. This kit, which is intended for active and amenable European citizens who wish to help dependent neighbours, friends, family members, etc., will comprise various tools that can be used to run awareness-raising campaigns and training activities in local areas.It will be made available to local providers of personal services or home care, who very often encounter difficulties arising from shortcomings in the mobilisation and professionalisation of civil society. The operational objectives are as follows:- to define a benchmark set of skills to be acquired by these volunteers;- to produce tools and try out awareness-raising activities, then training activities for active citizens;- to develop tools that will promote recognition of the skills of active citizens;- to collate and distribute these tools in the form of a kit designed to promote closer links and better coordination between all of the users in local areas, that is to say local authorities, public or private structures catering for the needs of dependent people, volunteers, etc.The seven participants in the project – training bodies, an association of volunteers working with the target groups of the project, a European research institute and public and private-sector players – possess real experience and expertise in the field. They provide complementary services in six countries of northern and southern Europe. They possess know-how and networks that enable them to establish and maintain training activities in their respective areas.
