Description
"<< Background >>We applied for this project to enrich our European partnerships through a new type of action. This action - a series of meetings followed by a training course and a conference open to the public - was to reinforce the skills of our teams and add to the visibility of different forms of European projects.For some time now, our association has been opening up to the international arena, in order to see how structures and organizations operating in the same professional field as ourselves carry out their missions, with what results, using what methods or techniques. We also wanted to compare the specific institutional configuration and funding system of France, and indeed of the Gard département, with other patterns of cooperation between public authorities, users and public or private health insurance bodies.After initially applying for and obtaining accreditation in the field of vocational training - which we were unable to use - we responded to calls for proposals in Key Actions 1 and 2, assuming that the notion of ""small-scale strategic partnership"" would fit our situation and our limited experience.<< Objectives >>We felt that achieving our goal of employee mobility meant forging a partnership with organizations operating in the same professional field as Espace Social. We expected this strategic partnership to create an atmosphere of ongoing, regular cooperation between the partners, likely to lead to longer-term future projects.Beyond the direct effects of the partnership, we also wanted to improve the visibility of this type of action, particularly with regard to the general public and public funders, and thus enhance the image of the homecare professions, making them more attractive, especially to younger people.All this presupposed highlighting the Erasmus+ program, which already enjoysa strong, positive image in the public eye, but is less well known to the general public in its ""adult"" section. We wanted to promote the social dimension of Europe's action.social dimension. This was the main objective of the final gathering that was to round off our program of activities. Without neglecting the European added value, which became concrete for direct participants in the activities, for the association as a whole, and for external partners.<< Implementation >>We set up a first meeting in April 2022, during which we drew up a calendar of activities, setting a theme for each one that would enable us to explore the different aspects of each partner's action and lead to mutual enrichment arising from the exchange of best practices.For example, the meeting scheduled for February 2023 at the Portuguese partner's premises focused on the importance of intergenerational aspects in working with the elderly, given the specific nature of the rural environment: as Espace Social's work also covers urban, peri-urban and rural areas, this aspect was of particular interest to us.On a different note, the May 2023 meeting at our Romanian partner's premises successfullyto illustrate the impact of leisure activities for able-bodied senior citizens - who are not institutionalized - on the people themselves, through the socialization effects, but also on the local environment, which is made aware of these activities through the provision of material and logistical structures, the mobilization of volunteers, financing, communication, etc.<< Results >>The most concrete achievement of this partnership project was to reinforce our willingness to do things together.During the activity in Nîmes (planning and framing), following the defection of the Austrian partner, we had to reconfigure the course of our exchanges and modify certain objectives. At the same time, we used this time to start exchanging ideas on how to support the elderly. We organized workshops in dance and digital practices, as well as workshops on Alzheimer's disease for people who were ill. The project timetable was defined. At Samuel, we continued to reflect on and develop a final event, while pursuing joint activities centered on intergenerational issues. In Braila, we focused on cultural activities for the elderly, to help them maintain their independence. Each partner enriched their practices with theoretical elements, as we have attached an example.On the other hand, we knew from our conversation with the agency that there would be no final event following the defection of one of the partners."
