SPACE

Project overview

SPACE (Social Prescribing and Civic Engagement) aims to bring together social prescribing and volunteering to create an environment and approach that supports the health and well-being of people with health and rehabilitation needs.

The project addresses education and training needs of health, social care and rehabilitation professionals, NGO/Civil Society leaders, as well as policy makers, and as such making a direct impact on the EU Cancer Mission contributing to the National Cancer Plans.

The main goal of the project is to work transnationally and across sectors to promote dialogue, knowledge exchange and common understanding of Social Prescribing. We will:

• address common education and training needs to increase quality in the work, activities and practices of organisations and institutions involved in social prescribing,
• open up to new actors not naturally included to enable transformation and change
• lead to improvements and new approaches at different practice and policy levels especially in the framework of the EU Cancer Mission.
