Lifelong learning
The cornerstone of the "WE CARE!" project is the development of an Online Learning Portal alongside a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC). This platform is dedicated to providing permanent and free access to educational resources for individuals involved in elderly care. The target audience includes trainers, volunteers, and staff working in day centers for the elderly or nursing homes. The inclusion of a MOOC and a project portal is a strategic approach to leverage digital platforms for educational purposes, ensuring a wide reach and accessibility.
In order to have a complete educational offer, web-surfers can also integrate our content with the following structured compilation of educational resources.
