Title of activity: Social support and services? Take a look here!

Research shows that quite often people in need are not aware of available supports for them, neither their carers. In other words, it is observed that there is a big lack of knowledge that such support has already existed and is available.

During this module professionals are going to list possible and adequate  social supporting options for people in need.

Professionals are going to prepare short checklist what kind of documents/forms, etc are needed to get support and how the beneficiaries can learn/find out about them and in what way.

Instructions:

Step 1.

Divide the participants  in  teams (the number of teams  depends on the number of participating countries). Every team will be responsible for searching the types of social services that exist in their countries. Each team will represent one country.

Step 2.  Each participant has access to a computer and the Internet and table template. Besides of that we invite the expert for the meeting to talk, to explain if and how the support could be offered depending on the situation.

Ask from the teams to find as many available information as possible regarding the type of support their team expects.

Every team has to fill in the Table template.

Step 3.

Each of the team presents their findings in front of the other members. The other teams can evaluate, comment, ask for further information,  and (if they have a knowledge) indicate other possibility of support. After the discussion, ask participants to complete the table on  additional information they got.
