INCLU-AGEING

Training of Family Members and Guardians for inclusion of aging adults with disabilities

Inclu-aging is a project which aims to promote a real inclusion of ageing adults with disabilities. In fact, they can experience new needs and dynamics, which don’t just influence their life, but also their social circles, such as those related to family and legal guardians. This is not connected just to the relationship with them, but to the new changes and challenges to address on both sides. In fact, getting older is a complex part of life, not just ageing people can be disoriented, but also who takes care of them. That’s why this project wants to develop non-formal educational tools to support both to move in the inclusion way, providing concrete key actions and good practices.
