Care4autism

INTRODUCTION

We chose the horizontal priority: “Addressing digital transformation through the development of digital readiness, resilience and capacity” because it is constructive more than ever during the COVID-19 pandemic to use digital health care services such as virtual support groups, apps and e-services offered by several EU member states. We will promote those digital services by two webinars and a Learning teaching training activity.

ADU: Improving the competencies of educators and other adult education staff. Partners from Belgium, Greece, Spain, Latvia and Italy will have the opportunity to enhance their skills on how to conduct successful awareness campaigns in their respective countries. We will share good practices on a website (www.care4autism.eu) and a printed guide.

We selected the adult education priority “inclusion and diversity in all fields of education” because we believe that enhancing social support for adults with autism in Europe within the framework of the principles of maximum personal autonomy can contribute to equal opportunities, non discrimination, social integration and adult education for such a vulnerable group. National / Local Awareness raising events will promote the need for equal opportunities.
