Within the CARE project the North-East Regional Development Agency works in close cooperation with associations for disabled people, local public administrations and various NGOs active into the field of social protection and tourism.
The Agency, as partner within the project, is involved in almost all working packages. Under WP 2 there were made around 500 interviews with tourist and inhabitants from City of Iasi, which is targeted by the project, the results being used for both the scope of CARE project and for us as well. Also there were information collected and analysis made about the resources available in terms of projects, works and researches already done in the field of project’s interest.
Under the activities of WP 3 we had consultation sessions with our local partners in order to ask for their opinions about IG-VAE methodology and shared the resulted information with project partners.
At the same time we defined the itinerary and structures that are to be surveyed for final selection. In the WP4 we will be involved in training at a distance-home learning. As concerning the WP 5 our Agency will bring its contribution to the creation of first network of accessible cities in Europe.
