Take Care - Pôle Culture Santé Aquitaine

THE CONTEXT

The Take Care project aims to empower those who care for people in vulnerable situations (loss of autonomy, illness, etc.). Family carers, professionals working in the social, medico-social and health sectors, volunteer carers – these people play a fundamental role in our society. However, they are often confronted with multiple difficulties that can lead to burn-out or self-forgetfulness. The innovative teaching offered through our training programme is based on the ability of the arts and experience to reveal skills, boost self-esteem, reconnect people to themselves and to others beyond their functions, and promote their quality of life. By offering artistic and cultural mediation in local areas through third-party venues, we will be able to equip people to deal with the difficulties associated with their role as carer and enhance their practices.

THIRD-PARTY PARTNERS

The project will be tested in two areas: La Creuse and Gironde (Bordeaux metropolitan area). The aim of this multi-site approach is to target areas with different characteristics and/or partnership ecosystems, so as to be able to identify the factors determining the success of the project: from the mobilisation of training trainees to the impact of the training.
