Responding to Heatwaves in the Older People Ecosystem

The project HOPE (Responding to Heatwaves in the Older People Ecosystem) aims to put the severe health threats of heatwaves on the agenda of the older adult service and healthcare sectors and to have an inclusive approach for the whole ecosystem by:

  •  Developing and strengthening competencies of students, informal caregivers, and professionals in older adult health, care and social sectors on better responding to the needs of older adults during heatwaves and thereby better mitigating the risks.
  • Supporting and stimulating organisations in the older adults ecosystem to apply guidelines and best practices regarding care during heatwaves.
  • Supporting local and regional authorities through developed Policy Recommendations on how to play a role in the fight against heat risks for their older inhabitants.
  •  By communicating and disseminating project results and best practices in local, regional, national, European, and international levels.

HOPE: E-learning for students
  • The e-learning will be built up with text, and illustrations (video, pictures, and stories) based on the experiences and cases of the participating (associated) partners in the project and assignments. There will be attention to the comparison between different situations, especially in the assignments. This will stimulate users of the e-learning to understand the impact of the context on how to address heat-related health problems.
  • The presentation of the e-learning will contain visual materials, as part of so-called blended learning. This will result in a better ‘sticking’ of the knowledge gained 
  • The result will be cross-country learning and the exchange of knowledge between the partners and disciplines.
  • As the e-learning is in English it will be easy to use in the countries involved. After finishing the development of the e-learning, it will be easily accessible to other interested parties.
