The partners of the project met for the first time in Brussels from 14-15 October 2005. The aim of the meeting was to examine the context of the project more closely, so as to provide detailed information on the project’s implementation and financial aspects.
The partners were also joined by Mr Hugues Feltesse from the Social Inclusion Unit of DG EMPL at the European Commission. He expects the following matters to be treated during the course of the project:
improving awareness of the various difficulties encountered by people with mental health problems in trying to integrate themselves into society
gaining a fuller perspective on de-institutionalisation and its cost
monitoring of projects and the benefits of "good practice" in terms of transferability and cost effectiveness.
