Does any of the following sound familiar? If the following story sounds familiar, you are in the right place.
Sarah sat quietly in her favorite armchair, gazing out the window at the garden she had tended to for years. The flowers bloomed brightly in the spring sun, but her mind felt foggy, even confused at times.
Hm. Did she water the roses today …?
Her son, James, walked into the room, a cup of tea in hand. “Here you go, mom,” he said, placing it on the table beside her. Sarah smiled weakly, grateful for his care and support.
As the weeks passed, Sarah’s memory issues became more obvious. Simple tasks like cooking dinner or remembering appointments became challenges. John arranged meals to be delivered to her house and started visiting more.
Somehow, a necklace found its way into the cupboard instead of the jewelry box. Sarah, unable to find her precious necklace, became frustrated and paranoid. John’s wife, Ashley, calmed her down with great difficulty.
Oh my. Is someone walking around her house, stealing her things …?
In September, Sarah stopped going on walks she used to love so much. She tripped and fell down two steps near the river. While she couldn’t fully remember why, she was very wary of going outside again, even with Ashley holding her hand.
No. I’m going to stay in the house. I don’t feel that good outside …
When James and Ashley brought the children to visit their grandma for Christmas, Sarah kept forgetting their names and was repeatedly asking them who they were. This upset everyone and left Sarah feeling ashamed.
I am so embarrassed. These people are looking at me weird, was it something I said …?
In the winter it became obvious that Sarah needed help. But John and Ashley were completely in the dark as to how to help John’s mom. How do they talk to her without upsetting her all the time? How do they motivate her to do things she used to love? Can they do anything to slow down the progression of her illness?
They were worried …

ELEVATE
Izboljšanje več nivojskega upravljanja za vključujoče skupnosti
Trajanje projekta: 1. 4. 2025 – 31. 3. 2028
Program: Interreg Podonavje
Vodilni partner: Razvojni center Srca Slovenije, d.o.o. Slovenija
Partnerske države: Slovenija, Hrvaška, Srbija, Bosna in Hercegovina, Madžarska, Bolgarija, Romunija, Slovaška, Češka, Nemčija in Moldavija.
Vrednost projekta: 2.797.748,00 EUR, višina odobrenih ESRR sredstev za RCSS je 227.312,00 EUR
Opis projekta:
Projekt ELEVATE je mednarodni projekt, ki združuje 17 partnerjev iz 11-ih držav Podonavja ter 13 pridruženih partnerjev. Slovenska partnerja sta še Občina Sevnica in Inštitut za socialno gerontologijo, Amabilis. Pridružena slovenska partnerja sta Ministrstvo za Solidarno prihodnost in ZRC SAZU.
Glavni cilj projekta je izboljšati sodelovanje med različnimi sektorji – javnim, zasebnim in civilno družbo – da bi ustvarili bolj vključujoče skupnosti. Posebna pozornost je namenjena aktivni vključitvi starejših in invalidov v življenje v skupnosti, s čemer želimo tudi zmanjšati pritisk na sisteme socialne varnosti, ki se soočajo z izzivi staranja prebivalstva, migracij in podnebnih sprememb.
S projektom bomo razvili rešitve za bolj vključujoč razvoj, ki bodo oblikovane skupaj z ljudmi, ki jih najbolj zadevajo – pod geslom “nič o nas brez nas“. Na primer, starejši in invalidi bodo sodelovali pri pripravi rešitev, ki jim bodo omogočile boljšo dostopnost do storitev in večjo vključenost v družbo. Poleg tega bodo lokalna podjetja prispevala k ustvarjanju novih programov, ki bodo spodbujali družbeno odgovornost. Rešitve bomo pilotno preizkusili v 12-ih območjih v Podonavju.
Projekt vključuje različne organizacije in podjetja ter posameznike iz ranljivih skupin. Skupaj bomo oblikovali rešitve, ki bodo koristile celotni skupnosti. S kampanjami in dogodki bomo dosegli tudi širšo javnost in povečali ozaveščenost o vključujočem razvoju.
S projektom ELEVATE želimo pomagati skupnostim v Podonavju, da postanejo odpornejše in bolje pripravljene na izzive prihodnosti. Vključujoče in dostopne skupnosti bodo ključne za pravičen prehod v zeleno in digitalno gospodarstvo, kjer nihče ne bo ostal zadaj.
Projekt bo omogočil tudi pripravo načrtov za trajnostni razvoj, ki jih bodo lahko uporabile lokalne skupnosti v prihodnjih letih. Na ta način želimo doseči dolgoročne pozitivne spremembe za vse prebivalce Podonavja.

ELEVATE
ELEVATE MULTI-LEVEL GOVERNANCE FOR INCLUSIVE COMMUNITIES
Project duration: 1. 4. 2025 – 31. 3. 2028
Program: Interreg Danube
Lead partner: Development Centre of the Heart of Slovenia
Partner countries: Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Germany, Moldova
Overall project budget: 2,797,748.00 EUR, approved ERDF funding for DCHS is 227,312.00 EUR
Project description:
The ELEVATE project is an international project that brings together 17 partners from 11 Danube countries and 13 associated partners. Slovenian partners include the Municipality of Sevnica and the Institute for Social Gerontology Amabilis, while the associated partners from Slovenia are the Ministry for a Solidarity-based future and ZRC SAZU.
The main objective of the project is to strengthen cooperation between the public, private, and civil society sectors in order to create more inclusive communities. Particular attention is given to the active involvement of elderly individuals and persons with disabilities in community life, thereby reducing the pressure on social security systems facing challenges such as population ageing, migration, and climate change.
The project will develop solutions for inclusive development through a bottom-up co-creation process with those most affected – under the motto “nothing about us without us.” Older adults and persons with disabilities will be actively involved in shaping solutions that will improve their access to services and enhance their participation in society. At the same time, local businesses will contribute to the development of socially responsible programmes. The solutions will be piloted in 12 territories across the Danube region.
The project brings together various organisations, companies, and individuals from vulnerable groups. Together, we will co-create solutions that benefit the entire community. Through awareness-raising campaigns and public events, we aim to engage the wider public and promote inclusive development.
Through the ELEVATE project, we aim to support Danube region communities in becoming more resilient and better prepared for future challenges. Inclusive and accessible communities will be key for a just transition towards a green and digital economy, ensuring that no one is left behind.
The project will also facilitate the development of sustainable development plans that can be used by local communities in the coming years. In doing so, we aim to achieve long-term, positive change for all residents of the Danube region.

- AICOMM – A New International Project Supporting Families Caring for Loved Ones with Dementia
Every year, more and more families find themselves facing a challenging situation – caring for a loved one with dementia. This type of care is not only physically demanding, but also mentally and emotionally exhausting. At Social Services Prague 9, we are proud to coordinate a new international project that directly responds to these challenges: AICOMM.
What is the goal of the project?
AICOMM – Communication and Activation Skills: Training Program for Relatives of Individuals with Dementiais a three-year project that will deliver a modern, AI-supported e-learning platform. It will be tailored to the needs of family caregivers and provide them with tools to improve communication, activate and better understand the emotional and behavioral needs of a person with dementia.
What will the project offer?
- An interactive e-learning platform tailored to each user’s situation
- Practical advice and video examples of activation techniques
- Podcasts focusing on caregiver wellbeing and burnout prevention
- Research-based recommendations and analysis of caregivers’ needs
Thanks to AICOMM, caregivers will gain knowledge, confidence, and support to manage day-to-day challenges while also taking care of their own mental health.
The project runs from November 2024 to October 2027 and is funded by the Erasmus+ programme.
Emotional Wellbeing of Caregivers – A Crucial Piece of the Puzzle
Caring for someone with dementia is not only a physical responsibility. It’s an emotional journey filled with uncertainty, stress, frustration, and loneliness. Many family members try to do their best but feel lost and unsupported.
Why focus on the caregivers?
Research and our own experience show: When the caregiver suffers, the person with dementia suffers too. Without understanding or proper tools, families often find themselves in conflict or burnout. But with the right support, they can become confident, calm, and emotionally strong.
The AICOMM project aims to provide that support in a flexible, accessible format – online learning tailored to the real-life needs of caregivers.
What can caregivers expect?
- Understanding both their loved one’s condition and their own emotional needs
- Practical tools for communication, activation, and self-care
- Access to podcast episodes, video examples, and peer support
Family caregivers are the cornerstone of dementia care. AICOMM is here to help them navigate their daily reality with more confidence, knowledge, and emotional resilience – and ultimately improve the quality of life for both themselves and their loved ones.
