Winning Practices in Information and Training

An information session is a meeting organized occasionally to share practical and concrete information related to the caregiving role. It may cover various topics, such as available resources and services, as well as caregivers’ rights and support programs.

A conference is a lecture-style presentation led by an expert, specialist, or practitioner. It aims to inform, raise awareness, or deepen understanding of a specific topic, such as burnout prevention, stress management, or ways to better support the care recipient according to their illness or condition.

A training is a structured educational activity designed to develop new practical and concrete skills to better fulfill the caregiving role. It may take the form of a single session or be part of a program consisting of multiple sessions. Training can be delivered in person or online, either synchronously or asynchronously.

A practical workshop is an interactive activity, usually offered in person, that allows caregivers to develop and apply specific knowledge and skills through active learning and hands-on exercises.
