The objectives of the project are to:
1) Increase awareness & commitment to CSI at all levels in the adult education and youth sector by evidencing its contribution to empowerment, integration and competence development.
2) Strengthen the capacity of adult/youth orgs to teach CSI by improving the knowledge and digital skills of adult/youth educators and providing practical resources to teach CSI in nonformal scenarios.
3) Maximize the number of adults and young people learning and carrying out CSI projects by sharing our model via a CSI hackathon.
The first tangible results of the project will be the intellectual outputs:

The toolbox will accelerate digital transformation and use of digital means to adapt to the way creative products, cultural goods and events are created, managed, disseminated, accessed and consumed
IO3: CULTURAL SOCIAL INNOVTAION HACKATHON AND GUIDE Intensive 1- or 2-day cultural social innovation trainings for both adult/youth educators and young adults on how to carry out/develop CSI projects.
