Representatives from the Department of Welfare, Youth and Demographic Challenge will travel to Malta to share the Basque region's priorities regarding social resilience and innovation. The forum, organized by the European Social Network, will focus on shared challenges such as aging, social inclusion, and digital transformation under the theme Bridging Boundaries: International Perspectives on Social Services.
This participation is a key milestone, as Vitoria-Gasteiz has been selected to host the 2027 congress. This will place Euskadi at the center of the European debate on the future of social services, highlighting a model focused on personalized care and community support.
“"Quality cannot depend on the person knowing how to navigate the system; the system must be the one to better accompany the person."
The Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa will also participate in technical sessions regarding the European Quality Framework and integrated long-term care. The Basque model is characterized by its community-based approach, outcome-oriented evaluation, and proactive social policies.
