Social and sociocultural design course
Registration is closed as the maximum number of participants has been reached
Our workshop adopts an innovative and interactive educational approach. Throughout the course, participants will have the opportunity to write social projects in collaboration with our partner associations, engaging directly with their designated representatives.
As part of this learning experience, participants will present their projects for evaluation and discussion. If a project is deemed viable, it may be submitted for a call for proposals scheduled to open at the end of 2025. In the event of funding approval, participants may be directly involved in the project's implementation alongside the partner association.
Additionally, participants will have the opportunity to propose the involvement of other associations with which they are already connected, affiliated, or wish to collaborate. This initiative empowers them to take an active role in promoting positive change within the communities they know deeply.
