The process
1. Applications
Local communities can apply for financial and technical support in setting up a learning space, given the condition that the primary focus of the space is to solve local and/or regional problems which directly impact their lives. The local community is also committed to sharing their results and learning experiences.
Companies apply to support a local community based on specific criteria such as geography, gender, SDG and more.
2. Matchmaking
Whenever the community and company applications meet the common criteria there is a match and the project is prepared for launch.
3. Learning analytics and SDG impact data
On the project launch date, both the company(ies) and community members get an online identity to track their learning experiences and report project data. Individuals build a personal learning log while companies get an impact dashboard according to specified criteria.
