Social services and digitalisation
learning mobility of individuals
Since 2021, SERN has held an Erasmus+ accreditation in Adult Education, valid for the entire 2021–2027 period. The accreditation supports a structured training strategy for professionals working in the welfare sector, coordinated through a consortium of local authorities and social service providers (ASP).
The main objective is to invest in the skills of those who design and deliver personal care services, social workers, coordinators, service managers, and public officials, through international mobility and peer learning.

During the second year of implementation, the accreditation involved 29 professionals from the Municipalities of Faenza, Cervia, Ravenna, the Unione Tresinaro Secchia, and the Unione Terre d’Argine. The range of training topics expanded to include dementia care, welfare technology, and the organisation of local social systems.
Host organisations were based in Sweden, Latvia, and Belgium, including the Municipalities of Linköping and Boden, Paradox in Ghent, and Daugavpils Municipality. Participants had the opportunity to explore a variety of welfare models and exchange experiences with professionals working in different institutional settings.
Key activities included a training course on welfare technology and a group mobility on elderly care in Linköping (August 2023), a training course on dementia care in Ghent (June 2023), a training course on the Latvian welfare system in Daugavpils (June 2023), and a job shadowing experience on welfare services in Boden, in northern Sweden (August 2023).
This year marked a consolidation of the European dimension in the participating organisations and helped reinforce professional development as a shared priority.
