According to an IFOP study for WWF France, 70% of French people say they're ready to modify consumption toward more environmentally responsible products. This trend, driven mainly by food products, could also translate to household behaviors and practice changes. This also emerges from studies conducted during the PRODOME project*, an Erasmus+ European project led by IPERIA, responsible for analyzing behaviors and the general evolution of the family assistant occupation.
This recently completed study highlights family assistants' potential for environmental awareness and implementing new behaviors. Maintaining a home means keeping it clean and healthy. This contributes to living comfort and occupants' health. Thus, family assistants could be powerful drivers for raising household awareness about environmentally friendly products and establishing eco-responsible habits.
Family Assistant at the Heart of Change
Aware of these domestic professionals' role, IPERIA, PRODOME project leader, developed a training program, now available in 4 languages (EN, FR, IT, ES), enabling learners to acquire eco-responsible behavior habits. A program balancing empowerment and conviction, awareness, and necessity, allowing everyone to breathe purer air inside and outside homes while reducing our carbon footprint.Useful and Available Training Program
Accessible, educational, and developed at the European level, this training guides us toward a more environmentally respectful daily life. It also contributes to better enhancing domestic work occupations, particularly family assistant, and highlights these practices' impact on our daily lives.Family assistant: more than an occupation, a driver of change.
