NEXT DOOR aims to promote social capital within neighbourhoods, fostering protection of elderly citizens & increasing levels of self-esteem & quality of life. NEXT DOOR relies on development of skills of professionals working for community at local level, improving technical & social competences to support better job performance & their contribution to cohesive region, putting together community organisations & training providers.​
​

The objectives of the project are:​
  • to engage multi-level stakeholders in response of elderly needs, by local co-creation workshops
  • to build a digital tool for mapping local resources and offering information on how to support & referral the process
  • to raise awareness on general public & neighbours on the importance of community's social capital
  • to design and pilot a capacity-building programme for professionals (from community, social, health sectors) & policymakers (municipalities, government etc.)
  • to build gamification resources to support the learning activities, awareness events and assessment
  • to launch local social resources groups to setup recommendations
  • to create a model which packs methodology, resources, results from piloting, follow-up assessment and case studies, as well as a business model and replication
