CIFAL Málaga-Málaga Hackathon: Sustainable Innovation for the Future
The search for young talent and their involvement in society as active drivers of a more sustainable world motivated the birth of this project, Malaga Hackathon: Sustainable Innovation for the future. Since the end of last year, Maristas and Oracle have been carrying out activities and initiatives that promote the approach of technology to the classroom and the dissemination of this technology for the development of a better society where both young people and vulnerable groups have a place and feel co-responsible and called to active participation, breaking taboos and beliefs related to this sector. This project aims to "empower" young talents committed to society to believe that entrepreneurship and innovation are the perfect combination to make dreams come true.

This activity will be developed by CIFAL Malaga, International Training Center for Authorities and Leaders under the United Nations agency, UNITAR. The objective of this introductory training is to provide enough basic knowledge about the SDGs to be able to start the project. For one week, they will work to find the best idea to solve or help achieve one of the challenges of the 2030 Agenda. To do so, they will be mentored by the Oracle and Maristas team and will use a virtual openscourse tool such as Miró for the presentation of the solution. The Oracle mentoring team will be in charge of guiding the students in the area of technological development to elaborate a "mock-up" that prototypes in the closest way to reality and gives them clues and tools for the technological viability of the idea. The Maristas teaching team will be responsible for developing the skills of communication and presentation of the value proposition of the business idea, as well as analysis of the environment and impact of the idea.
