Vénères & Solidaires |
Get Lit |
This project led by Citizens Campus involves no less than 4 associations and 1 institutional partner. Faced with a youth that is at a standstill and angry, Vénères & Solidaire aims to bring together and train 400 young people in 1 year around collective intelligence workshops via an expression platform created for and by young people on Discord.
|
This project, led by Eurasia net , involves no less than 10 associations, 3 university components of AMU, and 3 institutional partners. Faced with the societal challenges facing the new generations, GET LIT aims to open up spaces for innovative cooperation between civil society (solidarity associations) and higher education (AMU LEA, Quality, IAE) and to enable students to have the soft skills they have acquired during their academic careers recognised (Service Learning). |
Smart & Civic Port |
Interstice |
This project led by theAccelerator M involves no less than 2 associations, 8 private groups, and 3 institutional partners. How can the transformation of the Grand Port Maritime de Marseille be set in motion whilst responding to the need for involvement and transparency with regard to the citizens? |
This project carried by Nos Quartiers Demain involves six associations and an AMU component. After having said no to the project to build a clinic on the Louis Armand wasteland in the 12th arrondissement of Marseille, it is time to validate an intuition on the added value of collective intelligence. |
