Solidigital is a cross-border collaboration project that aims to support vulnerable individuals through three digital tools: Soliguide, Nidus, and Reconnect. The project was born from the collaboration between Solinum, the iSocial Foundation, the Reconnect association, with the Andorra Research + Innovation Foundation (ARI), and the member entities of the iSocial Group Pere Claver, the Resilis Foundation, and the Alba Association, thanks to co-financing from the European Union through the Interreg POCTEFA program.
Solidigital is being deployed in Catalonia, Andorra, and Occitania. Through collaboration between the various project entities, Soliguide will be integrated with Nidus in Catalonia and with Reconnect in France. . Thanks to their connection with Soliguide, these applications will also be able to offer an updated and detailed map of available resources and services. The project will enable the mapping of at least 5,000 support services in these regions, and nearly 8,000 social workers and volunteers will be trained in using the tools to facilitate access to information for people in need.
The project aims to leverage the benefits of digitalization to strengthen the capacity of solidarity services supporting populations experiencing poverty in seven cross-border territories of Spain, France, and Andorra. Solidigital builds on Soliguide's successful experience in France. With its deployment in Catalonia, Andorra, and Occitania, we are not only addressing major challenges but also creating, for the first time, a common working tool on both sides of the border.
POCTEFA's objective is to strengthen the economic and social integration of the Spain-France-Andorra border region. The Solidigital project was co-financed by the European Union at 65% through the Interreg VI-A Spain-France-Andorra Programme (POCTEFA 2021-2027 with a total budget of €2,481,477.07 and Interreg POCTEFA funding: €1,481,299.26).
