PROJECT TITLE: Sandwich Generation and intergenerational caring
PROJECT ACRONYM: SG
Project description
Sandwich Generation LP addresses the non-formal learning needs of women and men who have care
responsibilities for frail elderly relatives.The two problems frequently faced by these non-professional caregivers
are:1) many interesting experiences get lost because many caregivers, lacking the knowledge of foreign languages,
are not familiar with the range of practices developed in other European countries, useful to have the basic set of
information needed when dealing every day with frail elderly;2) these carers, often “baby boomers”, are struggling to
juggle caring for their elderlyrelatives while supporting their own families. Therefore traditional Support Groups are
not useful tothese carers, simply because they do not have time to attend.This Learning Partnership aims at
responding to these needs by:• Organising local study circles to share problems and solutions in each participating
Country.• Debating the results in international workshops to promote mutual learning through sharing common
interests and issues.• Defining the structure and contents of online learning (using Web 2.0 social networkingtools)
supported by mentors, aimed at those who have not time for traditional support groups,allowing them to share their
experiences and to develop useful approaches based on the real livesof others sharing the same problems.•
Disseminating the findings through local meetings, newsletters, brochures and leaflets
