The cooperative Somos Conexión will sponsor three of the Innobreaks that we will hold throughout 2026. These sessions will focus on the conscious and inclusive use of technology in the social sphere, helping bring innovative initiatives closer to the sector that address emerging digital challenges

The iSocial Foundation and the cooperative Somos Conexión have reached a sponsorship agreement to promote three Innobreaks during 2026 — innovation webinars focused on the use of technology in social services, with the aim of raising awareness about the potential benefits and impacts that technology can have on people’s lives. This alliance seeks to contribute to the debate on some of the major challenges facing social services and to help place technology at the service of social well-being, inclusion, and citizen empowerment.

Three webinars to explore the challenges and opportunities of social technology

As a result of the collaboration between iSocial and Som Connexió, in 2026 we will launch three Innobreaks — social innovation webinars — focused on initiatives that promote a conscious, integrative, and responsible use of technology, or that directly apply technology in social intervention or professional training.

These three Innobreaks will revolve around the following themes:

• In the field of Virtual Reality, we will explore two projects that use this technology to demonstrate the potential of immersive environments to strengthen psychosocial support and facilitate professional training through experiences that simulate complex and everyday situations.
• The second Innobreak sponsored by Som Connexió will focus on the issue of screen addiction, offering a comprehensive approach to the effects of excessive device use among adolescents and families with children, with particular emphasis on educational, emotional, and social consequences, as well as the importance of digital disconnection.
• Finally, under the conceptual umbrella of inclusive social networks, we will examine digital platforms specifically designed to foster safe, accessible, and non-ableist interactions among people with disabilities or diverse needs.

These three knowledge-sharing spaces share a common objective: to reduce digital gaps, promote responsible uses of technology, and inspire innovative practices within the field of social services.

A collaboration that reinforces a shared mission

Somos Conexión is a consumer cooperative dedicated to telephone and internet services, operating under a non-profit model with a strong focus on social interest. Since its beginnings, it has worked to promote more transparent, responsible, and accessible access to telecommunications.

This vision is reflected in various projects promoted by the cooperative to reduce digital inequalities, such as initiatives that provide connectivity to individuals and families in vulnerable situations, in-person support activities for those requiring technological assistance, and collaborations with community groups seeking to improve their digital skills. The cooperative also develops projects and materials aimed at raising awareness about the effects of screen use on children and supporting families in responsible digital education.

The use of technology as a social lever and the importance of pedagogy in the use of digital tools bring the visions of Som Connexió and iSocial closer together. In this sense, the three Innobreaks planned for 2026 offer a space to address these issues and open new perspectives on the use of technology in the social sphere.
