- To inform about available ATs and their application to the specific needs of EPRM
- Create awareness and trust about the importance and possibilities of using ATs for improving QoL of EPRM, increasing their autonomy and community participation.
- To create digital and technological skills, which allow EPRM and supports to properly exploit ATs
- To create an e-learning environment that could facilitate the access of EPRM to the training contents
- To involve Informal Caregivers, Professionals and other Elder Persons as Peer-Supports that will support those EPRM that are not able to directly attend to the training activities.
