Alessio Romito

The Gentlecare training course addressing socio-health operators involved in the CrossCare project will start on the 11th and 18th of April at Odu Koper; a second appointment is foreseen on the 24th and 29th of May. The goal is providing operators with innovative tools to deal with fragile elderly and people suffering from dementia or Alzheimer. For the first time, thanks to the Interreg V-A Italy-Slovenia programme, the Gentlecare methodology – already applied at the nursing homes managed by Itaca – will go beyond boundaries and reach elderly care services in Slovenia.

An extension that was justified by the incredible number of board games, miniatures, live games, video games, traditional games, street games, costumes and cosplayers.
