What’s going on:
Monthly meetups in different cities where we discuss and work on different themes and topics. Right now we’re pretty busy with the SDGC ‘17 :) Yay!
What we’d like to see happening soon-ish:
• Establish links, exchange and support with groups all over Spain. Reach out if you’re reading this :)
• Expand the array of events to cover different formats, geographies, themes and timeframes.
• Host 1 or 2 conferences per year after the SDGC17, aiming for contextual interests and professional presence
• Establish ongoing partnerships with local hubs, associations and educational institutions
In the not-so-distant future...
• Join forces and complement other institutions by serving as connection point and knowledge base when interfacing with the public sector for the greater good
