PARTICIPATE – Learning communities in senior care

The purpose of this project is to create cross-sectoral knowledge on access to participation in workplace communities in elderly care for citizens without a solid foothold in the labor market – and to activate this knowledge as a basis for developing existing programs aimed at this group. Theoretically, the project revitalizes theories on workplace learning in relation to care work – a field that has received sparse research attention. The project contributes theoretically by developing the concept of learning environment in a cross-organizational perspective and in a context, where established barriers for participation exist. Furthermore, the project aims to contribute by developing learning circles as a method for practice-research co-creation.
