The threads that unite us: a space to share, create bonds and combat unwanted loneliness

The Torrevieja City Council is promoting a new community activity that uses sewing as a meeting point to foster social relationships and prevent unwanted loneliness.

From the Department of Social Welfare, through the Inclusion Service, " The threads that unite us" is launched, an initiative framed within the #TorreviejaConnects project, which seeks to generate spaces for participation, meeting and mutual support among citizens.

The activity was created with the purpose of offering a close and welcoming environment where people can meet, share experiences, converse and establish new social relationships while enjoying a common hobby: sewing.

Much more than a space for sewing

" The threads that unite us" is not a sewing course, but an open space for people with different levels of experience, from those who are just starting out to those who have been enjoying this activity for years.

Each participant can bring their own materials, projects or work, share knowledge with other people and enjoy a time of coexistence in a participatory and relaxed environment.

These meetings aim to foster the creation of bonds, strengthen social support networks, and offer opportunities for participation that contribute to emotional well-being and the prevention of situations of isolation and unwanted loneliness.

When and where will it take place?

• The meetings will take place every two weeks, on alternate Wednesdays, from 10:00 to 12:00 .
• in the Multipurpose Building, located at Avenida de las Habaneras, number 3, in Torrevieja.
• The start date will be communicated to interested parties soon.

With " The threads that unite us" , the Torrevieja City Council continues to promote community initiatives that encourage citizen participation, interpersonal relationships and the building of a closer, more inclusive and connected community.

Because sometimes, the most important bonds begin by sharing something as simple as a needle, thread, and a conversation.
