Four organisations dealing with care and social economy in Flanders (BE) are looking for partners willing to join a project proposal they are developing on this topic: “Collaboration between care sector and the social economy: exchanges of good practices”.
This project proposal – that will be submitted in the framework of the Erasmus+ Programme – aims at exchanging good practices at European level on how to extend and deepen a collaboration between the care and social economy sector. The exchange good practices will be realised on different levels:
- Macro level: Are there policy measures taken to stimulate the collaboration? Are there collaboration mechanisms between the 2 sectors installed?
- Meso level: How are organisations from the 2 sectors collaborating? Are there innovative approaches that support this collaboration?
- Micro level: Are there good practices of support for a sustainable employment in the care sector? What are concrete examples of tasks that are performed by social economy workers for (clients in) care institutions?
The potential new partners should be engaged and share the following values linked to the fields of care and social economy: “Quality, accessibility and continuity of care are considered as central for the organisation of care as are the quality and sustainability of jobs and labour contracts are vital to the business of social economy”.
If you are interested in joining this project and being involved in such important issues, please get in contact with AER Secretariat!
