The second personal meeting of our FairCare project was held in Dun Laoghaire, near Dublin, on 25-26 June 2025. During the two-day meeting, important issues were taken forward by the Erasmus+ project on developing self-determined lives in long-term care.

We reviewed the evaluation of the questionnaires on the needs of the three target groups (people with disabilities, family members/carers and institutional staff), which formed the basis of the project. This is very important because these needs will now be used as a basis for the development of the training material aimed at empowering people in need of care to develop self-determination.

Following the discussion of the training topics, the design of an interactive platform was the topic, which will be used for the training material and communication between the target groups. This will be created by People First.

The dissemination of project ideas, news and progress, as well as the internal communication of the project team, is essential to work effectively and achieve the best possible results. The latter can be a challenge for an international team, so we had to talk about it, also as a task for our association.

We left the pleasantly cool, beautiful seaside town with good feelings, because the FairCare project is going very well. We feel that the principle of “Nothing about us without us”, i.e. the active involvement of target groups, continues to be excellently implemented.
