iSocial has presented Nidus, a digital tool to support people experiencing homelessness, promoted jointly with the Pere Claver Group

Today, May 15th, we attended the I Jornada de Serveis Socials (1st Social Services Conference), organized by La Unió (Association of Health and Social Entities) at the Center of Contemporary Culture of Barcelona (CCCB).

Joan M. Adserà, president of La Unió, inaugurated the event and assured that all the entities present share “the purpose of building a national social services system that is equitable, sustainable, solvent, professionalized, and value-driven.”

During the conference, various social services professionals delivered different interventions. Toni Codina, director of the iSocial Foundation, participated in the round table “Cultural and Management Changes to Move Forward,” where innovative experiences in the sector were shared. In particular, he introduced Nidus, a digital tool to support people experiencing homelessness and the professionals who assist them, promoted jointly with the Pere Claver Group.

On the other hand, Marta Segura from the Department of Social Rights of the Generalitat de Catalunya highlighted some challenges for social services, such as flexibility, innovation, care, the dignification of caregivers’ tasks, and the restoration of trust.
