RADAR Project

In practice, the RADAR Project bases its intervention strategy on three levels:
1. inter-organizational level, involving 31 organizations from the City of Lisbon, which, through a collaborative digital platform - the RADAR Platform -, allows sharing information, knowledge and resources relating to the situation of elderly people in situations of vulnerability, isolation and loneliness . desired;
2. At the community level, which aims to create local microgrids made up of local companies and other non-profit organizations that function as “the eyes and ears of the city”, in identifying risk situations;
3. The level of active citizenship, which seeks to raise awareness among all citizens of the City of Lisbon to be aware of what is happening around them, in their neighborhood, seeking to build networks of mutual care, thus reinforcing the social cohesion of the City.
To achieve its objectives, the following are developed:
 street actions with partners, especially with public security police patrollers and local entities;
 Home visits with the aim of better understanding the situation in which people live and seeking to activate local resources to respond to their needs;
 holding local events with partners: tours, hikes, health education sessions; meetings; social gathering; etc.
 Telephone contacts with people integrated into the RADAR Platform promoting their involvement in activities and events that take place in their community;
