DEVELOP YOUR CREATIVE DIGITAL SKILLS AND CONTRIBUTE TO IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
SOCIAL HACKADEMY
The social hackademy is a service-learning initiative in which young people learn digital skills in order to co-design products and solutions useful for achieving social objectives with the collaboration of associations, organizations and informal groups of citizens operating in the field of at least one of the sustainable development goals of the UN Agenda 2030.

All participants in the training courses will participate in the annual event organized for the co-creation of digital solutions to social challenges.
