Our project is coming to its successful end!
With the joint efforts, enthusiasm and determination of the entire team, in the last six months important milestones were accomplished and outstanding results were achieved. The educational platform elaborated in the initial implementation period and tested within pilot workshops was complemented in the 6-months extension by a chapter on the management of dementia during the COVID-19 pandemic, focused on the specific needs of people with dementia and their family carers brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic and the modality to meet them. The dissemination of project activities continued, as well, by presentations at scientific events, highlighted in the current newsletter.
All these results wouldn’t be possible without the active implication and hard work of all the project members! Therefore, we take this opportunity to address our gratitude to the entire project team! Many thanks, as well, to all our collaborators and to all our readers for being with us for more than three years of activities.
We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year filled with blessings, joy, health, and happiness!
