ProACT targets Europe’s 50 million multimorbid patients to proactively self-manage and offset the EU’s annual €700billion cost of chronic disease management. ProACT aims at providing and evaluating an open application programming interface to integrate a variety of new and existing technologies to advance ‘home based’ integrated care (IC). Cloud based data analytics will determine correlations between technology use and the influence of support actors to impact on the health and quality of life of patients. Research will examine 4 models of care/support, central to implementing effective, continued and coordinated patient-centric care/self-management. Development of a novel data aggregation and cloud platform system will enable data analysis for improvement of IC, effective measurement of results and comparison of efficiency and costs, so that the relationship between patients and their personalized care network is optimized. Proof of concept trials (120 patients in total, with associated care/support actors) will be carried out within Health Services (Ireland and Belgium) with associated living lab facilities to ensure patient co-design technology approaches. Clinical status information, therapies and activity tools will be deployed for the conditions of: chronic heart failure (CHF), diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Tools to support mild cognitive impairment and detect early onset dementia are included. Commercial potential will be validated during the project supported by a European feasibility study to assess the cultural and political determinants for adoption and scalability of the ecosystem. ProACT engages a multidisciplinary EU consortium of 3 public and 9 private organizations (including 2 of the world's leading ICT companies, the largest home care provider and 2 EU service provider and technology networks) to develop and validate the ecosystem. Individually partners could develop the components. Together we can develop the system.

<< Background >>Family and Community Nurse (FCN) is identified as a key actor in the new Primary Health Care (PHC) models. Despite this, no standardized Professional Profile nor training path are defined at EU level. ENhANCE targeted an existing mismatch between the skills offered by nurses working in PHC and those actually demanded by the health care sector. To be noted that the recent pandemic has made even more evident the (already existing) need of FCNs, to decentralize our PHC on the territory.<< Objectives >>Main objective was to increase the specialization level of nurses working in PHC regarding Family and Community Nursing skills. Moreover, the project aimed to foster the development of FCN curricula based on a formalized EU profile drawing on WHO and EU recommendations. Ultimately, the goal was to enhance the shift from old PHC models to new ones.<< Implementation >>Implementation encompassed the development of:- A EU Professional Profile for FCN - A EU Curriculum for FCN - Guidelines supporting VET designers and teachers to design effective training for FCNs- An Open Online Tool supporting practice sharing for FCNs- A European e-learning for VET teachers in the field of nursing- Free Open Contents targeting VET teachers - Design documents of 3 localized curricula in Italy, Finland and Greece. - 3 pilot courses in Italy, Finland and Greece.<< Results >>- 150 graduate nurses were trained according to the EU Curriculum and became FCNs; more than 30 already got employed. Others will be employed soon- Nurse professional associations and Regulatory bodies across Europe can benefit from the EU Professional Profile for recognition and mobility of the profession - VET providers and teachers acrosso Europe can offer innovative and standardized training for FCNs

<< Background >>In order to adapt educational processes to the challenges of the 21st century, schools need to rely on innovative and practical methods, involving students in challenging activities and combining new educational needs with existing educational curricula aimed at creating active, inclusive and responsible citizens. In order to put this approach forward, transversal skills need to be fostered in the school ecosystem to allow a more transdisciplinary, learner-centred and challenge-based approach. Therefore, teachers and school personnel need to reinforce the development of key competence. Also, clear guidelines need to be traced in order to allow more and more schools to use innovative education approaches to prepare students to participate fully in society and enter successfully in the labour market.Given these premises, through the BUSTA project, student’s actions have real life impact that reaches beyond the boundaries of the school, on the lives of people with disabilities. It’s general objective is to promote innovative framework possibilities for students, with real world impact through the integration of service animal training.They also get the opportunity to contrast and exchange their research and actions with partnering countries, to foster a stronger European citizenship by developing cross-curricular projects that enhance learners’ global competence. With the close guidance from the partnering therapy animal associations, we will set up 3 parallel collaborations: - BOS democratic school in Brussels (Belgium) with a therapy dog association (Dyadis),- The Maria Montessori school in Klaipeda (Lithuania) with a dolphin therapy association (Lithuanian Sea Museum)- And Community for Democratic Education school in Sofia (Bulgaria) with a therapy horse foundation (PQHF).<< Objectives >>General Objective (GO): to promote innovative framework possibilities for students, with real-world impact through the integration of therapy animal training.Specific Objectives (SOs):SO1: Empowering teachers to promote students’ talents through innovative pedagogy.SO2: Empowering teachers to promote students’ active real-world participation and inclusivity through awareness building and action and psycho-affective connection.SO3: Empowering students' capacity to develop curiosity, welcome challenges, and co-design creative solutions.SO4: Empowering students' capacity to use digital tools and content to exchange practices with partner schools, and to create valuable content online for the public.<< Implementation >>In a European project, it is important to generate and share new knowledge collaboratively; this is why we have created a partnership with different stakeholders that under normal circumstances would not exchange their knowledge : schools and therapy animal associations, from 3 different countries with different schools systems, whose experience will be contextually different but that will have many similarities. This will be done by awareness building activities for kids and staff in order to understand the context and the purpose of each animal training requirement, understanding the different disabilities that are targeted by each type of animal therapy, identifying the training needs for each partnership, having virtual student methodology exchanges, and trips to transfer the knowledge and experience acquired from each partnership, along with the methods of co-creating new animal training protocols ( professional trainers, students and teachers). As this is research experience based, the students will also co-create the documenting process through video, with the project result being a full documentary about the research process.<< Results >>Students will improve their confidence when approaching animals, their leadership and communication skills, and their feeling of being part of a larger European identity. The predicted skills acquired would be transforming awareness about disabilities, their rapport with animals, and their power of action. Through a challenge-based project, they become actors by designing practical training solutions with professionals that will have a real-life benefit for people with disabilities. They will develop skills in the documentation and communication of their research process for the general public. For students, the development of a set of lifelong skills to be transmitted to youths such as active citizenship, critical thinking, self-regulation, flexibility, empathy, communication, growth mindset, creativity, problem-solving, inclusivity, personal responsibility.All key competences will be triggered: cultural awareness and expression competence, entrepreneurship competence, citizenship competence, personal, social and learning to learn competence, digital competence, scientific reasoning through their process of investigation through context-specific methodologies, literacy competence through critical and constructive dialogue, and an interest in interaction amongst students from the different schools. Through the zoom meetings and having to navigate the language barrier with the tools at their disposal, they will also develop the awareness of the impact of language on others and the need to overcome the gap by using language in a clear, positive, and socially responsible manner.

"<< Background >>According to the ILO ""COVID-19 and the World of Work: Ensuring the inclusion of persons with disabilities at all stages of the response"" PWDs, 15% of the world’s population, face marginalization in social, economic and health terms, as well as limitations by public services to reach them. This marginalization increases the threat to lives and livelihoods that the COVID-19 crisis poses. In response to the crisis, an approach that is inclusive of persons with disabilities is essential to mitigate the negative effects of the crisis and ensure a sustainable recovery. In Member States of the WHO European Region, 6 to 10 out of every 100 people live with a disability. In total, an estimated 135 million people.Persons with disabilities who faced exclusion in employment before this crisis, are now more likely to lose their job and will experience greater difficulties in returning to work. According to the UN report ""Policy Brief: A Disability-Inclusive Response to COVID-19"", the global crisis of COVID-19 is deepening pre-existing inequalities, exposing the extent of exclusion and highlighting that work on disability inclusion is imperative. People with disabilities—one billion people— are more likely to live in poverty, experience higher rates of violence, neglect and abuse, and are among the most marginalized in any crisis-affected community. COVID-19 has further compounded this situation, disproportionately impacting persons with disabilities. PWDs need a range of specialized interventions to access skills development and work, including assistive devices and access to employment services.Identified Needs of the participating organizations and of the identified target groups:- Identify smart, clear and effective measures to guarantee safety inclusion of PWDs at work - Upskill/re-skill the competences of their staff and professionals that work for labour inclusion of PWDs to the new scenario in terms of safety at work put in place by Covid- Create a networks and synergies to promote effective safety measures for PWDs at work.- Upskill/re-skill professionals involved in training design and delivery on how to train learners with disabilities on safety at work, also taking into account the new safety measures to prevent Covid- Define proper accessible and inclusive training for PWDs to make them able to work in safe conditions- Build synergies among initiatives carried out by organizations of PWDs, of certification and quality and representatives of labour market to create a safe working environment to improve social and labour inclusion of PWDs.The proposal aims at contributing to create the suitable environment to improve the safety conditions at work for PWDsIn this context, Safe4All aims at contributing to:- promote a decent quality of life and to live independently as it focuses notably on inclusion, social protection and non-discrimination at work- enhance equal participation as it aims to effectively protect persons with disabilities from any form of discrimination and violence, to ensure equal opportunities in and access to justice, education, culture, sport and tourism, and to all health services. The General Objective, (GO), of Safe4All is to contribute to create the suitable and safe environment for labour inclusion of people with disabilities, PWDs.Specific Objectives, (SO):- SO1 to enhance knowledge, competences and skills of educators/trainers that work with PWDs supporting their social and labour inclusion - SO2 to enhance awareness on SMEs regarding safety&healt of PWDs at work- SO3 to promote knowledge, competences and skills of PWDs to work in safe conditions- SO4 to foster networking and collaboration among different actors for the improving of training and support practices of workers with disabilities in work<< Objectives >>IMPACT ON DIFFERENT KIND OF PARTICIPANTS IN SAFE4ALL PROJECT:- Participating staff members of partners, will have improved competences on the project issues, on good practices in other countries, competences of collaboration and implementation in the context of the EU level projects, strengthening their professional skills and performances- Participants of the Inclusive training Pilots for workers will have developed competences to deal with risks and safety at workplace, to behave respecting the safety for all, but also higher level of functioning according to the real learning potential- Participants of the Training for trainers pilots, will have improved their professional competences – that brings to better performances, more Inclusive trainings, more workers with disabilities receiving support- Participants to Multiplier events will have raised their knowledge on project issues, allowing them to design, deliver new training activities in the field of safety at work and to raise the quality of their performance as trainers, project designers,etc- Participants/users/visitors of the Open Learning Space will have developed their knowledge on the project theme and will have support tools for their practices, improving their professional performances and/or their employabilityIMPACT ON PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS:a) Strengthened their competence in EU project implementation and collaboration with international partnership, thus able to elaborate new initiatives at transnational level b) Sustained the development of their staff competences on the project issues and will have new training tools and concepts, applicate in new or improved training activities, increasing number and quality of safety at work training practicesc) Strengthened collaboration with local stakeholders in the project theme as a good basis for further development, innovations and new initiatives in all project countries.- Organizations involved in the Pilot training will have new experiences and improved competences of their staff; being able to develop their own internal tools for the management of safety and the related trainings, improving the level of safety for all workersIMPACT FOR THE TARGET GROUPS- VET organizations in the project countries dealing with issues on S&H in workplaces improved skills on S&H, by received info from spreading activities about the project results and will have learning resources available on the Online learning space. – development of their staff competence, new training activities for employers who employ persons with disabilities, thus raising the safety at work in SMEs- Public authorities involved in safety at work with policy recommendations or by been involved in the Local working groups - developed knowledge on good practices, raised awareness on importance of appropriate inclusive trainings for workers with disabilities. Thus existing regulations will be revised and some modifications done to increase the Inclusive training practices for this target group- SMEs, will have raised awareness on importance of appropriate training for their workers with disabilities, making search for such training from safety experts. thus increased no. of inclusive trainings for workers with disabilities. The safety level at workplaces raised.
