FLCA-Denmark: Strengthening Student Advocacy for Elder Care Excellence

Denmark is at the forefront of dementia care, pioneering innovative housing solutions and cutting-edge technology that empower seniors to live safely and with dignity. By embracing these advancements, Denmark not only enhances the quality of life for its elderly population but also significantly reduces healthcare costs. This project sees 10 students from the Personal Support Worker, Journalism, and Video Production programs join forces to explore Denmark’s novel approach to dementia care by immersing themselves in the Danish model to enhance their classroom learning. PSW students will meet and hear from seniors, healthcare professionals, and technology leaders, while Journalism and Video Production students capture compelling stories, photos, and videos to share back home. Together, they will bring back invaluable insights and inspire new ways to support seniors living with dementia in Ontario.

Students will research the current situation, develop recommendations, and present results to the executives. This program includes cultural visits, volunteering at an international sport event, and consulting and analysis for a sport business.
