The "Breaking Isolation" Network, composed with 10 European cities, aims to address the rising issue of social isolation.

The project seeks to strengthen social bonds across generations and promote diversity by focusing on citizen participation.

The City of Agen leads this project that aims to identify and support socially isolated individuals, increase awareness, and enhance social cohesion.

Thanks to the URBACT methodology, the partners will be able to produce their local strategies (Integrated Action Plans) by the end of 2025.
