The EDY-CARE project aims to empower teachers and other school staff (e.g., school nurses, psychologists, social workers, management) in upper secondary education (ISCED-3 level) to recognise adolescent young carers (16-19 years old) in classes and maximize their learning opportunities, while ensuring their social inclusion. The EDY-CARE specific objectives are: • To develop an assessment tool that could help teachers and school staff to identify young carers; • To develop and test a package of educational strategies, didactical approaches as well as organisational adjustments that schools can take to facilitate young carers and to support them in their scholastic career; • To produce a handbook providing guidelines and recommendations on how teachers and school staff can work at best with young carers; • To develop a massive open online course (MOOC) for training teachers and school staff on the young carers phenomenon, their needs and preferences.
This e-learning course has been developed by the partnership of the European Project Erasmus+ EDY-CARE which aims to empower teachers and other school staff in upper secondary education to recognise adolescent young carers in classes and maximize their learning opportunities, while ensuring their social inclusion. This e-learning course should take you around 1 hour to complete and, upon completion of all activities and knowledge check, will release an attendance certificate.
