THE DIMENSIONS OF ENERGY
#SHU2023 aims to develop the digital skills of young people and adults through preparatory training for a hackathon to co-create innovative digital solutions to promote accessibility in all its forms and facilitate the achievement of the UN 2030 Agenda's Sustainable Development Goals.
The hackathon is the main event of SHU2023 and will involve teams of 8-10 participants, coordinated by an expert mentor, confronting each other through the co-creation of digital solutions and projects that respond to three thematic challenges linked by the key word: ENERGY
Sustainable Energy
In response to the energy crisis, some European countries are planning to accelerate the transition to renewable energy and to increase investment in renewable energy and energy efficiency, experimenting with new forms of ethical and sustainable production and reducing the impact on the environment.
Sustainable Development Goal 7 aims to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.
Cultural Energy
Knowledge and creativity are two indispensable ingredients to foster innovation and progress in society.
Digital transformation enables schools, libraries, museums and all other cultural venues to play a central role in supporting the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 4, ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all.
Economic Accessibility
As part of sustainable strategies to recover from the global pandemic, the implementation of sustainable consumption and production is critical to maximising the socio-economic benefits of resource use while minimising impacts.
Sustainable Development Goal 12 ensures sustainable patterns of production and consumption that focus on the mental and physical well-being of people and the world around them.
