The DISCOVER project will create a new service to deliver digital skills training; this will focus in particular on opportunities for informal carers, as a socially excluded group, but also target formal carers and the older people who are being cared for. Based on existing eLearning systems in Birmingham and Thessaloniki, the DISCOVER platform will integrate the existing systems and provide access to rich digital skills learning experiences.
Project Objectives:
- Increased digital competences and engagement of social inclusion actors (carers).
- Increased use of ICT solutions for enabling social support and care.
- Improved recognition and appreciation of the importance of Social Care work
