Family Training to Support Their Marginalized and Disadvantaged Members (FamilEU)

FamilEU envisions developing a digital training toolkit for adult trainers and professionals, who already work in the area of family care. The aim of the FamilEU is to equip the social workers and other relevant practitioners in areas of social welfare and to provide training to family members, in order to provide a peer-to-peer support to members of their families who are in need, and facilitate their (re) integration both in the society and in the market where appropriate. The limited resources of the states, as well as of the families, demand a new approach in the provision of social welfare, where peer-to-peer support, through the acquisition of relevant lifelong skills by EU citizens, is both in demand and in need.

The FamilEU is in full alignment with the priorities, objectives and aims of the ERASMUS+ Strategic Partnership programme as it envisions adults’ up-skilling and provision of transversal skills, provide access to Open Educational Resources based on ICT, link adult education with higher education (ECTS), carry awareness campaigns, and promote validation, accreditation, and certification for adult training.
