New online meeting of the Erasmus+ EDUCATIONAL AID KITS IN THE FIELD OF RARE DISEASES

The partnership of the Erasmus+ project EDUCATIONAL AID KITS IN THE FIELD OF RARE DISEASES, co-funded by the European Union, met on Thursday, June 27, to analyse the progress of the project and plan the following steps.

The initiative will provide training and resources to teachers and students of Vocational Educational Training in the field of Rare Diseases. The Educational Aid Kits will focus on pathologies such as SYSTEMIC RARE DISEASES, that affect multiple organs or systems in the body and are characterized by their low prevalence in the population; RARE ENDOCRINE DISEASES, that imply inappropriate hormonal activity, hormone resistance, tumor growth in endocrine organs, or diseases with consequences for the endocrine system; and NEUROLOGIC DISEASES: also known as neurological disorders, which are medical conditions that affect the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. We will also offer counseling and guidance in the treatment of undiagnosed people.

During the meeting, the partnership also presented the visual image of the project that aims to represent the necessity of great and valuable ideas to foster the inclusion and accessibility of people affected by rare diseases in all educational levels.

The partnership of the initiative, co-funded by the European Union, will meet again in September to continue working on the project results.
