The ESSSM team, coordinator of the GivingCare Project, is in Krakow in the first face-to-face meeting with colleagues from Filmes da Mente (Portugal), University of A Coruña (Spain), Jaguelónia University (Poland), Krakow, University of Ljubljana (Slovenia) and Eurocares (Brussels).

This increasingly important and numerous professional group needs increased training as a way to credibility their professional practice, improve their social image, achieve better wage levels and better working conditions. In this way, this project aims to create a basic training of carers at European level.
The GivingCare – Empowering Caregivers Project crosses academic concerns with professionals, in an example of action research applied to a very precise and strategic context to support older or disabled people, with more or less marked autonomy limitations.
