Context/background of project: The number of young people in need of care (for example due to AIDS, stroke, accident) has been increasing continuously over the past years.Appropriate ambulant and stationary care structures for these people as well as vocational training offers for the nursing staff are missing. In the partner countries the care ofyoung people in need of care in in- and outpatients units has been adapted to models of geriatric and medical care. They do not consider the aspects of the special livingconditions and needs of these people. In the future adequate care for these people will only be possible if in each case in addition to existing valid care concepts furthervocational training concepts providing additional skills and qualifications or vocational training concepts are adapted to the characteristics and requirements of these youngpeople in need of care. The main project objectives were:- Transfer and dissemination of a holistic psychosocial care concept and common standards of ‘Young Care’ in thepartner countries- Development and adaption of 8 new modules (up to EQF level 6) as well as transfer the concept of ‘Young Care’ in the partner countries- Manual for theadaption of the modules- Qualifying of lecturers and teachers in teaching the educational offerings built up modularly in the context of EQF and ECVET and preparation of ateacher`s guide- Further development of common standards in vocational education and training against the background of ‘Young Care’- Dissemination of project outcomes incooperation with professional organizations (umbrella and trade associations), international care organizations, training institutes, regional and national units and preparation forregional and national accreditation Number and profile of participants: There were 6 participating institutions in this partnership having years of experience in vocational educationand training, or/and maintaining ambulant and stationary care structures in the context of nursing or geriatric care or arranging nursing staff for outpatient care. In the context offurther vocational training the partners brought in innovative approaches, concepts, methods, contents, teaching methods and studying materials which could have been adapted. Theyhave regional and national network structures to professional organizations and national units, which can be used for accreditation and dissemination of the projectoutcomes. Description of activities: Besides the project management (C.1.), which was responsible for planning, controlling, monitoring and organizing the project, the followingproject activities were carried out:- Development of 8 modules from EQF-level 2 to 6- “teach the teacher”, carrying out learning activities for handling and teaching of themodules in the area of ‘Young Care’ for lecturers and teachers as well as compilation of a manual for teachers- Testing the modules with the partners- Classifying thesemodules and the 8 existing modules in a module tableau- Compilation of a manual for the adaption of modules to other target groups in the area of care- Compilation of amodularised educational concept methodology in carrying out the project: As a coordinator the applicant was responsible for the project and quality management and supervisesthe work and time schedule and the project status. A short description of the results and impact envisaged- Application of the modular educational offerings under considerationof the target group (nursing assistants, nursing staff, manager, parents or family members of young people in need of care)- Nurses training schools and universities benefitfrom a specific educational offering- Striving for accreditation. The potential longer term benefits: Due to the different qualification levels of the modules different target groups(Nursing assistants, nursing staff, manager, students) in different hierarchy levels of the institutions benefit cross-sectoral from the project outcomes. By the adaption, testingand evaluating of the training modules and –methods, studying contents and studying results the project should help nursing staff to find transnational employmentopportunities in in- and outpatients care. In this way the employment opportunities for nursing staff are facilitated. The project shall improve sustainably the ambulant andstationary care structures for young people in need of care and shall contribute to a harmonization of the care services and care quality in the context of ‘Young Care’.
