People exist when their voices
are heard and understood
SMES-Europa (1) currently are
preparing the project
“Dignity and Well-being through
accessibility and services
sustainability”
concerning congruence
between the demand of person in
social and health needs and
the answer of social and health
integrate services, quality and
sustainability,
facilitating the access of
person in need to service
and the outreaching of workers
to marginalized and excluded
people.
This project will be submitted
under Erasmus+
KA2 (2021) and
it’s closer connected with the
first and second phase of the
project Dignity and Wellbeing
that SMES-Europa has been
building since 2014.
-
The first phase of
D-&-WB
(2014-16)
focused mainly on the
person, who - due to several
social and health factors -
had to live for
long time
on the street, in extreme
conditions of deprivation,
neglect, often due to mental
health problems.
The profiles
of more than 50 people
in charge of health and
social services were
discussed and analyzed by
colleagues in three
transnational workshops
specifically to understand
why, despite the various
services offered, a
certain number of these
people - seemed -
preferred to stay on the
street rather than accept
the solution offered by the
services.
-
The second phase of
D-&-WB
(2017-19),
supported by Erasmus+
program, involving 8 Eu
countries:
following essentially the
same methodology of 1st
phase : study visits,
transnational workshops and
final seminar
concerning the four welfare
sectors especially in
relation with marginalised
and excluded people: social
– health – housing –
recovery sectors. (cf.
Manual Good Practice. in
our web
page).
-
These third phase of
D-&-WB
(2021-23),
aims to focus - through
exchanges & study visits,
seminars & final Conference
- the attention of the
Associations and Institution
in accessibility, quality,
congruence, sustainability
of the services response to
explicit or implicit demand
of the person in a situation
of social and health
exclusion.
We would like to propose an
in-depth assessment of the
congruence between PERSON and
SERVICE,
the dissemination of effective
and innovative practices that
may or may not correspond to the
expressed or unexpressed needs,
and even more so to the main
objective of inclusion and
participation.
With the support of the Erasmus
program, SMES's transnational
exchanges project aims
through study visits to see
and listen, with the
workshops and mini seminars
to exchange and evaluate, with
the event at the European
Parliament to raise
awareness, with the 15th
European Conference to
propose a laboratory of ideas
and practices coherent to
explicit and implicit requests
of people in extreme social and
health precariousness.
