Since May, we have begun to collaborate with the City Council of Galdakao in the implementation of the Socio-Sanitary Forum of the municipality. This initiative seeks to address the challenges of health and welfare from a community and systemic approach.

During this first phase, several working meetings have been held and a core group of about fifteen people, including health professionals, pharmacies, local associations and community leaders, has been set up. This team will play a key role in activating and energizing the forum.

We accompanied the core group in the design of a mapping system of agents and actions linked to the health and wellness ecosystem of Galdakao. This mapping will allow to visualize in real time the existing connections, opportunities and gaps, and will be systematized through K-tool for the analysis of narratives.

In addition, we will support the core group in the development of active listening, using tools such as rapid interviewing, observation and photography. The first collective interpretation session will be held on June 16.

The process will include deliberative spaces with local agents such as Osakidetza, pharmacies, neighborhood associations, schools, businesses and citizen groups. The aim is to co-create a portfolio of initiatives that combines projects already underway with new experimental proposals.

ALC, in collaboration with Bihar, will collect the lessons learned during the process in order to transfer this knowledge to future initiatives, such as the one that will be developed soon in Arrasate.
