In a picturesque gathering in Matera, the entire project team reconvened on April 13, 2023, marking a significant juncture in our collaborative initiative. This in-person meeting provided a platform for the comprehensive assessment of our work thus far, unveiling the initial version of Intellectual Output 2 (IO2) courses, and initiating discussions on the finer details of our third project result – an interactive map containing practical information for seniors’ caregivers across EU countries.

The team’s diligent efforts culminated in the presentation of the preliminary version of IO2 courses, a testament to our commitment to delivering high-quality educational resources for aspiring caregivers within the European Union. Substantive discussions ensued, allowing for invaluable insights and refinements as we collectively strive to shape the future of senior care.

Beyond the realm of hard and fruitful substantive work, the team seized the opportunity to immerse themselves in the beauty of Matera. Integrating exploration and collaboration, the experience was not only professionally enriching but also a testament to the camaraderie within our team.

As we reflect on this gathering, Matera stands as a backdrop to a truly valuable time of collective dedication, progress, and exploration. Stay tuned for forthcoming updates as we continue our journey, steadfast in our mission to elevate the standards of senior caregiving across the European Union. Together, we are creating a future where caregivers are empowered with knowledge, skills, and a shared commitment to compassionate service.
