EDhack

EDhack is a civic space where you can generate ideas and projects through collaboration. At EDhack, the people involved share their expertise to find solutions and overcome far-reaching educational challenges (feminism, sustainability, lifelong learning, culture, etc.). It is a co-creation community education lab.

The EDhack model, based on the hackathon format, has many benefits for improving education:

• Its intensive, dynamic format, with the organisation of a 2-day immersive event, accelerates collective creativity.

• Based on open culture, EDhack represents a real paradigm shift from a closed and private model of educational innovation, to a socially constructed one.

• Its main strength is learning and collaboration between people to create value in the very same community that drives it.

• It has the ability to attract new and committed talent, bringing together people from very different backgrounds.

• It is supported by mentors who accompany teams through the process of creating solutions while offering their experiences, resources and contacts.

• The EDhack methodology is results-oriented, based on an agile and manipulative working philosophy, specifically designed to give concrete and real answers in a specific region.

Do you think that there are educational challenges in your municipality that need to be addressed from a new perspective? Do you want to deal with them in a disruptive and fearless way? Based on EDhack’s methodology and experience, it is possible!
