Project Leader, Consultant of CSCC Dace Valte-Rancane: “During the project three study visits were arranged from Latvia to Norway, Denmark and Finland. Firstly, the project provided perfect spirit-lifting and team-building opportunity for the whole working group; secondly, involved experts benefited from this experience exchange due to chance to see wider picture beyond own area of expertise; thirdly, the CSCC verified the model by competent international organizations and foreign national authorities, and saw that other countries are also moving towards multi-dimensional approach in aging society due to efficiency and economy considerations of financial and human resources, and they are just a step ahead. This mobility project has provided an opportunity to highlight the best practices and create space for exchange of evidence-based solutions for facilitation of public mental health and performance improvement.” The project has promoted collaboration among experts form very different branches and with wide range of competences in planning and coordination of health care, welfare, education and social support systems, as well as practitioners from Latvia and partner countries - Norway, Finland and Denmark.
