The other project on which Spominčica-Alzheimer Slovenia has embarked, in 2019, is S.IN.CA.L.A. (Supporting informal carers: a whole-family & life course approach). Through the narration method and socio-drama games, caregivers of persons with dementia can express their most common issues, share distress and develop a more positive perception of the caregiver’s role.
For S.IN.CA.L.A. Spominčica is preparing trainings for caregivers of persons with dementia, taking a modern approach to education, using storytelling workshops and learning through theatrical games (socio-drama). In parallel, caregivers will gain some skills, especially regarding how to overcome inconveniences they experience as dementia carers (to prevent burnout, negative emotions, vulnerability).
All developed trainings will be available through a web platform for e-learning - a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC).
Other partners in this Erasmus+ KA2 project are: MTU EEsti Omastehooldus (Estonia), Anziani e non solo (Italy), CASO50+ (Portugal), Co-Creation Support CLG (Ireland) and the Greek Association of Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders - Alzheimer Hellas (Greece).
