NEAR: an Interreg Europe social project

NEAR aims to support regions to develop or improve person-centered community-based social models that intervene both with the person (seeking the maximum development of their capacities) and in their relational environments (seeking to maximise the primary support that the person receives). The adoption of these models implies a change in professional praxis, from a role of expert to a role of accompaniment, provision of support, guidance, and motivation. NEAR will identify approaches and methodologies for professional action that facilitate this change and will transfer good practices in training social service professionals for the new praxis.
