Abstract :This case study explores social innovation in Spanish rural areas, aiming to revive local culture, transmit heritage across generations, and tackle social isolation through technology-supported initiatives. The study involved an intergenerational classroom, located in the North of Spain, which involves a methodology of 11 sessions across four phases: digital literacy, technological experimentation, intergenerational evaluation, and personal feedback analysis. Participants engaged in technology experiments linked to documenting cultural heritage. Qualitative data from semi-structured interviews explored changes in social relationships and intergenerational learning impact, analyzed thematically based on project aims. Adults and youth valued interacting across generations, finding it rewarding. The project facilitated knowledge exchange, enriched social and cultural aspects, and reduced social isolation in dispersed communities, fostering new connections. Digital heritage efforts reclaimed local histories and traditions. Strengthening intergenerational bonds enhances rural community resilience. Such innovations bolster social networks, particularly for youth. Digital heritage preservation aids in conserving cultural legacy but requires robust infrastructure and comprehensive policies for sustainability. The study underscores the role of social innovation in revitalizing communities and advancing resilience efforts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] | |||
