IDRAAC has been involved in the EU funded TEC-MED project, "Development of a Transcultural Ethical-social Care Model for the Dependent Population in the Mediterranean basin", an initiative which focuses on improving the care of elderly people in the Mediterranean Region (Spain, Tunisia, Egypt, Italy, Lebanon and Greece) through developing, piloting and validating a model of social care that is inclusive and provides a real response to the needs of this vulnerable population.

On February 1, 2023, Dr. Georges Karam and Ms. Lea Korh from our team participated in the 4th and Final TEC-MED Model Stakeholders Meeting in Rome, Unicamillus University entitled “Preliminary findings from the Pilot Phase & the Social Capitalization".

This event was an opportunity to share the main achievements of an innovative project aiming at improving the care of older persons in Lebanon where key stakeholders from all countries were invited to discuss and reflect on the project’s deliverables and next steps.

This was also an opportunity to present our work with 4,700 older persons and caregivers in Lebanon while supervising 5 other countries and working to reach a total of 28,200 persons in Italy, Spain, Greece, Egypt and Tunisia.

Proud to be part of this beautiful TEC-MED Model team and looking forward to the next steps!
