Alzheimer and dementia (AD) is an important disease that causes memory, thought, and behavioural problems. It is the most common cause of dementia in the elderly and its frequency is increasing rapidly. According to the World Alzheimer Report 2016, there were 46.8 million people worldwide living with dementia in 2015 and this number will reach 131.5 million in 2050. People with Alzheimer and dementia generally require high levels of care, most of which is provided by informal or family caregivers. Without caregivers, people with dementia would have a poorer quality of life and would need institutional care more quickly, and national economies would be swept away by the advancing demographic tidal wave. People with AD are cared for at home by members of their family. And that those family members, in turn, have higher incidence of stress and depression, as well as lower overall quality of life. Project goal is to enable family caregivers to sustain a decent quality of life as they care for their loved one, and to provide a comfortable, dignified existence for people suffering from dementia. Project aims to develop family carers’ knowledge of Alzheimer’s and other dementias, and their caring skills, to enable them to respond more confidently to their family members’ needs. Project Aims are:1- to help family carers to break down their isolation, recognise themselves as carers, and develop digital literacy.2- to better understand and develop new approaches to address the family caregiving needs of patients with Alzheimer and other dementias (AD).3- to develop better strategies for the care of patients with AD and for alleviating caregiver burden.4- to improve the quality of life for caregivers of people with AD5- to show how can adult education be promoted more effectively in the context of health services in the public. 6- to analyse different approaches in different EU member countries and to use findings of that research wherever needed. The project will be carried out totally 6 partners. Within the Project, two Short Term Learning, Training activities to be held in Portugal and Slovenia in order participants to acquire skills to apply the methodology to adopt new training approaches for adult education. With the project, participants who will participate in short term training activities will increase their professional competence. The project will also provide new ideas to improve the professional knowledge and skills of participants. Participants will have the opportunity to see good practices in place and use new learning methodologies.Within the project local training courses will be organized for family caregivers in order to help family caregivers to stay physically and emotionally healthy. Training courses to the family caregivers will include the stages of the disease, the possible problems that can be seen in each phase and their coping methods (security measures, alternative solutions to the problems caused by forgetfulness, responsibility). In order to reduce the problems to be experienced in changing the patients' home, portable bars / strips that could be placed and placed in every place they went (yellow-coloured from the room to the kitchen, blue-coloured from the room or toilet / food and beverage signs) will be planned to be produced. In addition to this, patients with Alzheimer's may come together with young people and children, organizations which can be closer with soil and nature, hobby gardens and workshops, considering that it would slow down the worsening of the symptoms.Intellectual outputs of DemCARE Project are: Innovative Training Curriculum, Training Materials, Handbooks for Family Caregivers, ICT Based e-learning Module and Computer Games. These intellectual outputs will provide needed information and training to insure that patients' needs to Family caregivers. The project outputs will also provide family caregivers with information on how care should be managed at home, thus the quality of care for patients with AD will increase as well as provide a positive impact on caregivers' psychology. Thus, social inclusion and personal development will be provided.Also, two multiplier events (seminars) will be organized in Burdur and Slovenia with participation of relevant stakeholders for sharing and disseminating the intellectual outputs realised. Thus, the project will encourage them to use project outputs and methodologies and to take advantage of the developed training materials. Project will impact increase their awareness levels about the possibility of introducing adult education mechanisms and their responsibility in promoting social services.

Although the profession of the shepherd is one of the professions of great importance for all countries' welfare, it has almost disappeared. While the number of small animals in Europe and in our country continues to increase, the enterprises have difficulty in finding shepherds to manage their flocks. For this reason, it decreases the number of animals in the enterprise.Despite the large number of sheep goats in our province, there are not enough shepherds to manage these flocks. There are shortcomings in the level of consciousness of our existing shepherds according to European standards.If we cannot make our shepherds more conscious, or if we cannot raise awareness of the shepherd profession, the yield of sheep livestock will decrease. Therefore, it will affect the national economy negatively. The aim of the project is to increase awareness of the shepherd profession and to increase the awareness of our existing shepherds to European standards and thus to increase the efficiency of sheep production, meat and dairy products.Objectives of the Project;1- Make Shepherds to recognize the importance of the sector.2- To increase the awareness of our shepherds about sheep and goat breeding.3- To increase the shepherds' welfare levels4- To increase animal welfare practices5- To understand and develop new approaches in sheep and goat farms6- Developing better strategies for better functioning of ovine enterprises7-To ensure production in accordance with European Animal Welfare CriteriaThe project will be carried out with 7 partners. Two short-term learning teaching training activities will be organized in the project. The first of these trainings will be held in Serbia and the second in Greece. The aim of these trainings is to adopt new approaches to vocational education and to reflect this method to their professional skills. After these trainings, the professional competencies, knowledge and skills of the participants will increase.Also; this project will provide participants with the opportunity to use these new learning methods in their own enterprises, institutions and organizations.Within the scope of the project, local training courses will be organized to increase awareness of the shepherd profession and to increase the awareness level by reaching shepherds in the wider masses.These courses will include the reshaping of the European shepherd profession with the criteria of European sheep breeding, local sheep goat breeds, life skills in nature, and different shepherd cultures.An information platform will be created that shepherds will always reach to solve the problem of being social and socially remote.All information that may be needed by the shepherds will be presented to the shepherds with intellectual outputs such as guidance and e-learning programs. Thus, shepherds will obtain healthier and productive products to increase their knowledge and skills in the professional sense. In addition, these outputs will enable life, personal and professional development to be included in social life.2 seminars will be organized with the participation of relevant stakeholders in Burdur and Greece. The aim of these seminars is to share and disseminate the generated intellectual outputs. In this way, shepherds will be encouraged to obtain better quality and productive products by using scientific methods instead of traditional methods of participants and participants.
