Training Course organised by EASPD and AAATE in Portugal
Mon, 16/09/2013 - Fri, 20/09/2013
A training course with the title “Bridging the Gap between Technology and Care when Implementing Person Centred Technologies/Assistive Technologies and Information and Communication Technologies in Services” is organised by EASPD and AAATE. The course will take place in Vilamoura, Portugal from 16th to 20th September 2013, and be delivered by experts and trainers from several EU countries.
The participants will receive an adult learning opportunity in the frame of lifelong learning with the focus on train-the-trainer method. The goal of the training is to implement the lessons learned afterwards in the organisation, so first line staff can benefit as well from the training.
By offering new-technology based training and network opportunities, the training seeks to build a bridge between Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Person Centred and Assistive Technology (PCT/AT) on the one hand, and the social and health sector on the other hand.
Special attention will go to the EU legal frameworks and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD).
The training should facilitate the transition towards optimal use of technology in care and social support provision.
Target group:
- Heads and managerial staff involved in adult learning and training;
- Human resource (HR) managers responsible for staff training and staff development;
- Professionals involved in adult and change management learning;
- Staff working with adults with special learning needs;
- Career advisors.
