DanceCARE Objectives

The project’s main objectives include:

To reduce the burden of formal and informal LTC caregivers, reducing the risk of depression and isolation, through an innovative, flexible and blended educational program for LTC caregivers, based on DMT and WiseMotion techniques, which can be replicated, becoming a good practice to be adopted at local, national and European level.
To improve the quality of life in ageing and the way in which older people are cared for
To reduce isolation and promote communication and networking between different types of long-term caregivers
To systematize and field-test the effectiveness of the body-mind methodologies used
To enhance and expand the DMT methodologies through the inclusion of the WiseMotion method
To optimize the use of the DanceCARE educational program through digitization
To disseminate the created educational program to various training institutions specialized in DMT
To involve stakeholders (care providers, elderly care organizations, caregivers' associations) in adopting the DanceCARE curriculum as an ongoing education tool
