Main
objective of "AcTive" is to increase the competences
of the collective around OPs (persons, families and professional and non-formal
caregivers) about how to exploit High-Tech Assistive Technologies for
increasing their wellbeing, through an innovative training program.
The specific
objectives of the project are:
-
Create awareness and trust
about the potential of using High-Tech AT for improving active and healthy
ageing
-
To create basic digital and
technological skills, fostering ICT-literacy, which allow OPs to properly
exploit High-Tech AT
-
To inform about available
High-Tech AT and their application to the specific needs of OPs.
-
To promote the decision making
of OPs for acquiring the proper AT
-
To give support and guidelines
to OPs living alone and/or with low education, including a “peer to peer”
training model, where Old Mentors will be trained for training other OPs which
could have not an easy access to the training program.
-
To involve caregivers and
families in the training process in order to be able to support OPs.
