GAMLEC

Gaming for Mutual Learning in Elder Care

The Gaming for Mutual Learning in Elder Care (GAMLEC) project is about promoting high quality standards in elder care. The GAMLEC project aims at providing an easy-to-access and playful way to acquire and share knowledge and competencies by means of a board game with learning card decks.
The GAMLEC game will be available free of charge on a publicly accessible e-learning platform that will also provide all necessary guidelines, instructions, related materials and further information. A broader and easy-to-access knowledge on standards of quality for dependent seniors enables the target group to make a factual contribution to a sector characterised by a lack of professional carers
