Co-design meeting and establishment of collaborations with social agents
The POSTCOVID-AI project continues to make progress in achieving its objectives. Following the first informative group session, held to introduce the project to social agents, representatives from the Social Services of the Honorable City Council of Montilla showed interest in analyzing the feasibility of a possible collaboration. For this reason, on Tuesday, March 7th, a personalized meeting was held with the councilwoman, the delegate, and the psychologist of the Social Services of the Montilla city council.
During this online meeting, we had the opportunity to get to know the interesting and necessary work they carry out through programs that ensure the well-being of the residents of this Cordovan town. The meeting focused on the possibility of using the project's tool in one of the programs carried out by the council, which aims to promote physical activity among retired people and which is expected to start in the coming months. Within this context, the tool would allow for the monitoring of different indicators related to well-being over time, such as the level of physical activity, emotional state, or social interaction, obtaining data that validates the advantages of participating in such a program, complementing and reinforcing the beneficial results already observed. The meeting was very productive, and the exchange of ideas around the tool's design was enriching and fluid.
This meeting is the first of the action plan aimed at establishing this collaboration, which will mean achieving one of the fundamental goals of this project, the co-design of the tool hand in hand with professionals with a broad trajectory in social contexts, whose work has an impact on the well-being of society. We greatly appreciate the interest and contribution to this project from the Honorable City Council of Montilla, and especially Carmen, Marta, and Alicia for their dedication.
