SACRED aims to create an E-Learning Platform for healthcare students and professionals, focusing on the care of frail older adults with dementia, disabilities or multimorbidity. The project leverages digital tools to provide accessible, comprehensive education, preparing (future-)caregivers across Europe with best practices and evidence-based knowledge for immediate and long-term improvements in elderly care.

To achieve this goal guided by the City of Rotterdam 9 partners have joined forces, AFEdemy, academy on age-friendly environments in Europe BV, Stichting Hogeschool Rotterdam, (Netherlands), Istituto per Servizi di Ricovero e Assistenza agli Anziani (Italy), Odisee University of  Applied Sciences (Belgium), Social Cooperative Altera Vita of Cyclades (Greece), Universitat de Valencia, SME ANRIMAC (Spain) and ELISAN, Réseau Européen pour l’ Inclusion et l’ Action Sociale Locale (France).

The SACRED consortium will be supported by an Advisory Board comprised of experts in, and representatives of, Older Adults, Higher Education, Students, and Care Professionals. In addition, the results will be co-developed and validated in 6 pilot sites, with the support of local associated partners and other stakeholders. These pilot sites are Valencia, Tenerife, Flanders, Rotterdam, Syros, and Treviso.
