INTRODUCTION TO THE PROJECT. Due to migration movements, the influence of globalization and diversification tendencies in society, there is a need to strengthen inclusion in Europe to avoid social disharmony. It is important to encourage intercultural awareness and to create social cohesion within our diverse societies helped via digital and thinking tools. Language learning through digital tools and critical thinking fosters social inclusion and integration of citizens with different cultural, religious and educational backgrounds. Also, it aids people to exchange and to converge as well as to broaden their way of thinking and to increase employability. This project helps to achieve digital literacy based on the information we get from technical devices, which are shaping how adults and youth interact with each other in school, at home, and at large. How youth use multiple forms of media and technology, in concert with their commitments to community dialogue and social justice, as they learn to be participants in civic and democratic practices. Students can become aware of how to process the immense load of information we are facing nowadays and how to deal it efficiently. Experience has already proven to us at each of our schools in that improved teaching methods lead to better up-take of basic and further skills by most students and therefore secures a more demanding way of learning through critical thinking and also a way of keeping our students from dropping school. An innovative aspect of the project is to focus on cross curricular language learning as a tool for social inclusion, digital literacy for their active citizenship within a more critical society. Digital Competences , Thinking Tools , Social and Cultural Integration in their Host country is a basic requirement for a successful working life.

INTRODUCTION TO THE PROJECT. Frail elderly patients are characterised as having complex health and social care needs, being at risk of hospital or residential care home admission, and requiring a range of high level interventions due to their frailty and multiple chronic conditions. These patients typically demand an integrated care approach where all care practitioners working in the different levels of care have to be tightly coordinated, and special emphasis is put on patient's empowerment. CareWell aims to enable the delivery of integrated care for frail elderly patients supported by ICT-based platforms.
