On 17 February, the YoungCare consortium gathered online for a transnational project meeting to discuss the latest project developments. The first full presentation of the e-learning platform, now available in English, was delivered. As the platform is still in the testing phase, all partners will be evaluating it over the coming days to provide feedback for further improvements.
The goal is to refine the platform before workshop tests take place in Portugal, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, and Lithuania throughout February and March. These workshops will gather insights to enhance the platform’s effectiveness and accessibility. Discussions also covered data collection procedures and the assessment framework to ensure a structured evaluation process.
Additionally, preparations for the European Multiplier Event, scheduled for 1 April 2025 in Vilnius, were discussed. This event will coincide with the next Transnational Project Meeting (TPM), where partners will focus on shaping the YoungCare sustainability plan.
A brief update on sharing and promotion efforts was also provided, including the organisation of National Multiplier Events. These events aim to broaden YoungCare’s impact, presenting the project’s key outputs to wider audiences through open sessions across consortium countries. The main outputs to be showcased include: the compendium, the e-learning platform, policy and professional caregiver recommendations.
With these ongoing activities, YoungCare continues to strengthen its support for informal caregivers and young adults in need of care, ensuring its tools and resources are well-tested, designed appropriately for the target audience, widely disseminated, and effectively implemented.
