▶Objectives
The objective of this project is to build a practical and reflective learning tool in the field of dementia for vocational training students. It will be a tool with dual purpose of teaching, and also with applicability in labour practice, as a preventative strategy for users who may benefit from its use in mitigating cognitive declines. The resource consists of a book with daily life activities that can be carried out by users directly in the book, supported and guided by Psychossocial workers.
▶Activities
- Presencial Preparation Meeting. - Presencial Seminar - Launching and reflecting on the tool. - Book Manufacturing in 3 languages. - Digital Version of the Book - Web Page. - Use of the book in educational context. - Test Phase of the book by Expert workers and students. - Closing Seminar - Final Version and Project Results. - Closing meeting.
▶Impact
The aim of this tool is to give pupils from the schools involved more skills in dealing with people with dementia. By using the book as a learning tool and raising awareness of the subject in the classroom, we believe that the young pupils will be better prepared to intervene in the labour market. We also want it to be an experienced tool in a real work context, already used by experts in the field of dementia. Appart from this as a general topic we aim to raise awareness about this topic.
