Good Practice Guide & Recommendations for VET Providers
The mapping of learning mismatches is used to develop recommendations for VET providers with proposed relevant skills for professionals, including an outline for contents and training methodologies for VET education in the field of creative arts programmes for older persons in healthcare settings. The recommendations seek to overcome the challenges and address the learning needs of professionals in an efficient manner, and increase the quality of the offered VET programmes in the field of creative arts programmes for older persons in healthcare settings.
Good practices in the fields of intergenerational approach and socially engaged participatory arts practices are also identified to accompany the set of recommendations. Both results are transformed into one electronic brochure the “Good Practice Guide and Recommendations for VET providers” available in English, Greek, Romanian, and German.
Creative Care training resources
The training resources for VET providers include relevant and easy-to-digest information on the intergenerational approach and the design and implementation of participatory art programmes for older persons in the context of healthcare settings. The training resources aim to equip VET providers with methodologies, tools and skills in order to actively respond to the needs of professionals working directly with older people.
These include a Trainers Handbook on Intergenerational Arts Programme Design, including modules & slides on the:
– Value of performing arts for older persons in health care settings;
– Introduction to concepts, benefits, challenges, opportunities;
– Intergenerational approach and programme design;
– Design and implementation of art programmes;
– Socially engaged and participatory art practices;
– Funding opportunities and access.
The resources are available in English, Greek, Romanian, and German.
Creative Care Online toolbox
The online toolbox offers the developed training resources in an accessible and user-friendly manner.
An online comprehensive educational platform is available in English, Greek, Romanian and German, acting as the project’s main educational resource. It includes e-learning units based on the Trainers Handbook on Intergenerational Arts Programme Design that are available in English with subtitles in Greek, Romanian and German.
Online ‘train the trainer’ seminars in Greece, Romania and Austria, addressed to VET providers and trainers also make use of the material and resources.
Creative Care Sustainability and Replication Guide
The Creative Care Sustainability and Replication Guide is designed to help Vocational Education and Training (VET) providers, professionals, and organisations effectively implement and continue the work of the Creative Care project. Our goal is to ensure the valuable resources and innovative methodologies developed are maintained beyond the project’s completion and can also be successfully adopted and adapted by new beneficiaries and in new contexts.
This guide provides a roadmap for ensuring that the Creative Care project leaves a lasting impact. It outlines strategies and practical steps for sustaining the project’s outputs and for replicating its success in diverse environments, helping to spread the benefits of intergenerational and participatory arts programmes for older persons in healthcare settings.
