Loneliness is a 12 months EIT HEALTH project involving 4 partner organizations

Through different initiatives, our project addresses theelderly loneliness, a fact that
grows every day and that represents a decrease in the quality of life of many
people in our society, hindering their health and well-being. This project
willprovide elderly with tools to tackle with their loneliness feeling,
increase self-esteem, and understand that living alone does not mean living in
loneliness.
This project intends to empower citizens in
loneliness through different activities. It aims to:
1. Achieve a better understanding of the
current loneliness situation in elderly at urban environments, identifying its
causes, consequences and needs that existing solutions promoted by cities are
not covering
2.
Improve their quality of life and self-esteem and reinforce the positive
points of living alone
3. Evaluate participants' mental health and
self-esteem status before and after their project's participation
4. Motivate a permanent change in individuals’
lives towards healthy and active ageing
The project will be implemented through three
stages:
1. User requirements and needs analysis and
selection of more motivating activities and
interventions.
2. Activities planification and materials
elaboration
3. Activities and interventions deployment
