On 5 March, we held the event in Sort to present the results of the Vincles project for the 2023\u20132025 period, highlighting both the programme\u2019s success and the need to ensure its continuity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Consell Comarcal del Pallars Sobir\u00e0 hosted the event, which showcased the results of the Vincles Alt Pirineu-Aran 2023\u20132025 project. The initiative, coordinated by the iSocial Foundation in collaboration with the regional social services, proposes a model that combines a technological innovation system for detection\u2014using big data technology\u2014with community\u2011based intervention actions to prevent and address situations of unwanted loneliness among older people in mountain regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event opened with remarks from Toni Codina, director of the iSocial Foundation; Carles Is\u00fas, president of the Consell Comarcal del Pallars Sobir\u00e0, one of the territories where Vincles has been implemented; \u00d2scar Mart\u00ednez, Deputy for Public Health at the Diputaci\u00f3 de Lleida; Teresa Llorens, Secretary for Life Cycles and Citizenship of the Government of Catalonia; and V\u00edctor Mart\u00ednez, Director of Institutions at CaixaBank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All speakers emphasised the challenges posed by depopulation and the importance of listening to local communities, while highlighting the programme\u2019s success and the need to maintain it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later, Marta Ortiz, programme coordinator, presented a real case of an older person experiencing unwanted loneliness, illustrating the challenges faced by social services when addressing loneliness in territories with unique geographical and demographic characteristics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alba Palomares, researcher at the University of Lleida, presented the results of the Vincles programme and its impact on the territories where it has been implemented, as well as the methodology used for its evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project has been deployed across 30 municipalities comprising 271 population centres in the six counties of the Alt Pirineu and Aran region. The Big Data system, based on 40 indicators, has identified 2,845 people over the age of 55 at risk of loneliness\u2014equivalent to 38% of the population in this age group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A key component of the project has been the rollout of community intervention actions, with a total of 393 activities involving more than 3,000 participants. In addition, 119 training sessions have been held, engaging and preparing 247 community agents\u2014local residents and professionals involved in detecting situations of loneliness risk. Finally, 205 people have been monitored through 322 follow\u2011up meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report prepared by the Social Innovation Chair at the University of Lleida, 85% of the people supported report an improvement in emotional and\/or social wellbeing; 78% have expanded their social connections within their municipality; 95% would recommend the programme; and 87% express a desire for Vincles Alt Pirineu-Aran to continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the event, Adriana Vidal, director of social services in Pallars Sobir\u00e0, highlighted the specific characteristics of the Alt Pirineu and Aran territory, particularly those linked to depopulation. She emphasised the key role of the community activators in the Vincles project, who have worked closely with the Basic Social Services Areas. She also underscored the value of the project\u2019s co\u2011design process, in which the iSocial Foundation incorporated the perspectives of regional social services from the outset. Finally, she stressed the community\u2011based and cross\u2011sectoral nature of the project, which has brought together the six participating territories, public administration, the third sector, and the university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event programme included video testimonies and contributions from older participants and volunteers from Vincles Alt Pirineu-Aran, who attended the event and shared how Vincles has become a driving force for community engagement in their municipalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the implementation of Vincles Alt Pirineu-Aran, the use of technology and the cross\u2011analysis of social and demographic data\u2014combined with community activation\u2014has made it possible to detect and prevent potential situations of unwanted loneliness. Coordination between social services, civil society, and local organisations has created safe spaces and social bonds that foster mutual care and enable faster detection of risk situations. As institutional representatives noted during the event, ensuring the programme\u2019s continuity is essential to continue supporting the needs of the population of Alt Pirineu-Aran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Vincles Alt Pirineu-Aran project is led by the iSocial Foundation and the social services of the county councils of Alt Urgell, Pallars Sobir\u00e0, Pallars Juss\u00e0, Cerdanya, Alta Ribagor\u00e7a, and the Conselh Generau d\u2019Aran. The project also involves the Social Innovation Chair of the University of Lleida (UdL), IDAPA, the Basque organisations Agintzari and Gislan\u2014developers of the technological tool in the Basque context\u2014and the organisations ABD, Integra Pirineus, and Alba Juss\u00e0. It is supported by the Government of Catalonia, the Diputaci\u00f3 de Lleida, the \u201cla Caixa\u201d Foundation, and other local partners. During the 2023\u20132025 period, the project has been implemented with the support of Next Generation EU funds.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
