Description
The #hackAD project wants to foster digital skills and competences of young people from disadvantaged background by implementing collaborative educational activities based on the Social Hackademy co-creation methodology.
The project aims to empower young people (age 16-29) from disadvantaged backgrounds by helping them acquire and develop digital skills to find digital solutions to social challenges and improve trainers’ capacity to foster digital skills of youth at risk of social and digital exclusion. This will be done through the setting up of Social Hackademy Labs and the organisation of a Social Hackathon in four European countries: Croatia, France, Greece, and Italy.
The project focuses on digital co-creation, technology and education for empowerment and social mobility of disadvantaged young people, through the scaling up of the Social Hackathon Umbria (SHU), a good practice implemented at local level by project partner EGInA .
