Abstract
To develop trainings on the implementation of smart healthy age-friendly environments for people who aim to support, for example, their parents, their neighbours or local community, there are precautionary measures that have to be taken into account: the role of the facilitator (volunteer or self-employed), the level of skills, the needs of the end-users, training content and methodologies together with the sustainability of the learning. This article examines these aspects, based on desk research and expert interviews in the Smart Healthy Age-Friendly Environments (SHAFE) fields.
Highlights
Social inclusion and active participation can be achieved by better aligning Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) with the built and social environment: that is to realize so-called Smart Healthy Age-Friendly Environments (SHAFE)
One of the main ways to foster the implementation of SHAFE is to empower citizens at local level and to provide them with informal learning methods on SHAFE measures, products, services and opportunities
Learning of SHAFE measures takes the needs of end-users into account
Summary
Social inclusion and active participation can be achieved by better aligning Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) with the built and social environment: that is to realize so-called Smart Healthy Age-Friendly Environments (SHAFE). One of the main ways to foster the implementation of SHAFE is to empower citizens at local level and to provide them with informal learning methods on SHAFE measures, products, services and opportunities. The profile of these citizens is described later. The article will further focus on the needs of endusers, training content, training methods and tools to sustain the learning
