iSocial is a foundation created in 2018 on the initiative of various third-sector social organisations with the aim of promoting innovation in the social services sector and thus contributing to its transformation and modernisation. iSocial currently has 17 member organizations from different areas: disability, mental health, ageing, childhood, etc. The foundation’s activity seeks to transform and modernize the Spanish social services system, through innovation in intervention models, the digitization of the sector and the transformation of professional skills and roles. To make this possible, the iSocial Foundation acts as a bridge between the fields of knowledge and action, generating alliances between the third sector, administrations, universities and companies. Our actions and projects are articulated around three areas of activity.
1. We promote studies and research activities in collaboration with universities that provide useful knowledge to the social action sector in order to identify challenges, trends, solutions and opportunities for innovation. We encourage the exchange of good practices between social service organisations from different territories and countries in order to stimulate creativity, learn together and adapt innovative solutions.
2. We offer training proposals for social service professionals and organisations that want to face the challenges of improvement and transformation in the sector in a creative and innovative way.
3. We promote and develop innovation projects, that allow us to turn creative ideas that can solve challenges facing the social action sector today into real, useful, viable and sustainable solutions with a high transformational impact.
