We wanted to identify ways of improving our training provision, taking into account the needs of workers, companies and beneficiaries, at the level of living and employment areas. We wanted to organise opportunities to share experiences, to analyse what already exists in the light of the issues and ideas identified at national level, to reconcile them and take them to European level, and to inspire everyone's actions. Our priorities were to initiate reflection within each partner organisation to develop the skills and knowledge needed to support the necessary changes in training models, taking into account national contexts and the diversity of the populations supported. The expected results were a renewed and enriched vision of its context for each partner, with the indicators of new questions, a new framework for analysis and innovation in the proposals with regard to the problems identified, the creation of new study programmes and a renewed reflection on the notion of social and professional trajectory.

During the four meetings, the following activities were carried out: → Meetings with people involved in home help and personal services (in Namur and Dijon), maintaining social links and promoting independence (Barbastro), social integration and social promotion (Calabria): home help professionals, teachers, employers' federations, students. → Visits to training establishments to find out about simulation-based teaching, and to reflect on and discuss different forms of teaching practice; → Visits to establishments employing people in the homecare sector and inclusive work; → Participation in workshops to exchange practices with professionals in the homecare sector, → Participation in a day of conferences with international speakers on the issues, challenges and prospects for homecare on a European scale → Dissemination and communication activities focusing on the project's main themes.
