If you're between 18 and 30 years old, a student, and interested in innovation and social impact, this is your chance to join a unique experience. On October 25 and 26, Pompeu Fabra University will host the "Creadors de Canvi: Social Impact Bootcamp," an intensive program designed to foster creativity and offer solutions to real social issues.

This Bootcamp will not only help you acquire new skills to tackle current challenges in your community, but you'll do so with an innovative and social economy approach, working alongside local organizations. Additionally, if you’re a UPF student, you can earn 2 RAC credits for your participation and have the chance to secure professional internships.

What can you expect during the Bootcamp?

Here’s a sneak peek of what you’ll experience at the event:

• Friday, October 25: We’ll start the afternoon with a welcome session where you'll meet the other participants. There will be dynamic icebreaker activities to help you relax as we explain the Bootcamp structure and objectives. Then, the divergence phase begins, where you’ll explore creative ideas from multiple perspectives and propose innovative solutions.
   
• Saturday, October 26: This day will focus on refining and implementing ideas. We'll work in sessions aimed at distilling projects into viable and actionable solutions for real problems. You’ll also have time to prepare your elevator pitch—a concise presentation to pitch your idea to a jury and your peers. Finally, participants, mentor organizations, and the organizing team will vote for the best pitch, and the winners will receive a special prize.

Why should you participate?

• Practical skills: Learn to apply methodologies to solve real social challenges.
• Collaborative work: Connect with other young people with similar interests and be part of a dynamic team.
