Réunion 3 ULG Agen URBACT Breaking Isolation

Agen, leader of the Urbact program “Breaking Isolation,” is currently in the phase of identifying and selecting pilot projects to implement in the fight against social isolation. 

All stakeholders will be mobilized—elected officials, associations, companies—so that each citizen can actively contribute to this crucial step. Several experimental ideas have been discussed: support for isolated parents through health professionals, discussion groups on social isolation, follow-up for isolated individuals with the involvement of volunteers in Agen's neighborhoods, a mentoring system to support those facing isolation, social mediation to rebuild connections between families and isolated individuals, as well as a carpooling system for youth at risk of dropping out of school. These are all meaningful and impactful ideas that will be evaluated to select the most relevant ones. This ideation phase is expected to continue until December, with the aim of generating as many innovative ideas as possible.
