QAVAD is an ERASMUS+ project that seeks to work on improving the accompaniment of elderly people at home to maintain their autonomy and to provide support to carers and professionals working in the home. 

QAVAD aims to promote the development or maintenance of cognitive, motor and social skills, which are essential for quality of life (socialisation, recreational activities, sports outside the home, voluntary work, cognitive workshops, etc.). 

The QAVAD project will work on good practices in European countries that will be shared and transferred for the creation of shared training and technical methodology, at European level, to update and renew vocational training
