We are delighted to have reached another milestone in our international work before us. The International Conference in Perth, jointly hosted by IAHSA and ACSA, was titled „Global Communities Coming Together“.
As a speaker, we held a workshop entitled: „Small is beautiful“ with David Coe from England. In addition, we deepen our relationships with providers of services for older people across the globe. So we can, on the one hand, contribute to positive changes and, on the other, learn from others.

In South Africa, we were informed about local developments and cultivated, among other things, exchanges with Geratec, one of the leading companies here in elderly care, under the direction of Rayne Stroebel. He was the driving force behind this first South African Care Forum, and inspired many people. We share photos on the Congress photo wall.

The visit to the Conference strengthened our international ties and made it possible to maintain friendships with leading care scientists and advanced facilities.

Liliane Peverelli takes part this year in the IAHSA Conference in Shanghai. This takes place every 2 years, alternating with the EAHSA Conference. As a long-term member of IAHSA, Vincenzo Paolino held a symposium on „person-centered care and support“. He will be assisted by Rayne Stroebel from South Africa and Mark Erickson from Shanghai. The aim of the symposium is to show how human values ​​are implemented in a sustainable long-term use in different countries and continents. Presented here, among others, are the guiding principles and training methods of the Eden Alternative and their cultural adaptation. More information can be found here.
