A rarely mentioned topic, perhaps not by chance, as it is almost completely missing from long-term care. Both from the care of people with disabilities and of older people.
THIS IS WHAT WE NEED TO CHANGE!
One of the tools for this is our FairCare project, implemented through international cooperation, whose mid-term conference we held on April 23 in Pelendri, Cyprus.

The conference, held with the participation of around 50 people, was rather a series of very successful conversations and debates, in which Cypriot participants took part in person, and Hungarian, German, Italian and Spanish interested participants, stakeholders, family carers and professionals joined online.
The Hungarian Advisory Group was also well represented in good numbers and actively, whose members are the stakeholders themselves – carers and care recipients from all over Hungary. Many thanks from here as well!

Among the topics, besides the results and plans of the project so far, the following exciting discussion topics were included:

• Self-determination, inclusion and equity in care. Rethinking care as a collaborative and inclusive process. With active participation in care decisions, fair support, mutual respect and communication.
• Strengthening communication and collaboration in care, building bridges between informal and formal carers. The importance of mutual understanding, clear role definition and shared decision-making.
• Self-determination, communication and collaboration in care from two directions:
  – strengthening the autonomy and participation of people in need of care,
  – improving cooperation between informal and formal carers.

It was difficult to stop the exchanges of ideas, which clearly indicates the importance of the topic.
So we keep going!
