1st Transis Lab Cross-Border Meeting on Intergenerational Solidarity
Agirre Lehendakaria Center participated in the First Cross-Border Meeting on Intergenerational Solidarity - Transis Lab – EFA176/06, held on February 5 at the Europa Conference Center in Vitoria-Gasteiz. The event provided an opportunity to formally present the European Transis Lab project, promoted by the Basque Government's Department of Welfare, Youth, and Demographic Challenge and funded by the Interreg POCTEFA program.
The conference, entitled “Building futures between generations: intergenerational policies and experiences,” brought together public officials, researchers, and organizations from the Basque Country, Navarre, New Aquitaine, and Hautes-Pyrénées to share experiences and approaches on how to strengthen solidarity between generations in the face of current social and demographic challenges.
Transis Lab is a cross-border Living Lab for social innovation in longevity in rural areas. The project works to implement solutions that improve the lives of frail older people, connecting social, health, and community resources in different territories. Among the challenges it addresses are the aging of the rural population, the loss of inhabitants, and the dispersion of local services.
As part of this project, ALC is developing the Cross-Border Agenda for Social Innovation in Longevity, a document that will bring together the challenges, opportunities, and lessons learned from six pilot experiences, along with recommendations and practical examples of social innovation.
