We are pleased to announce the launch of the European FRIEND project, funded by the Erasmus+ programme. The project involves a partnership comprising the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Poland.
The FRIEND project aims to develop a twofold training programme:
- an experiential training programme designed to enhance the social skills of older adults in order to prevent and/or reduce the risk of social isolation and loneliness. By promoting social inclusion and the participation of older people, the project aims to improve their overall wellbeing.
- a training dedicated to professionals and interested volunteers, enabling them to implement the FRIEND programme and acquire the necessary knowledge and skills.
