About Social Hackathon Umbria 2025
The Social Hackathon Umbria 2025 (SHU2025) is a four-day dynamic forum of innovation, inclusion, and creativity in the beautiful village of Spello, a perfect synthesis of good living, typical of the Umbria Region. SHU2025 aims to develop the digital skills of young people through a preparatory training for participation in a Hackathon that intends to promote the co-creation of innovative digital solutions to support individuals and Civil Society Organisations in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations 2030 Agenda.
More than 300 participants from all over the world will share their views on three thematic areas related to diversity: bio, neuro, and socio. In the coming weeks, we will select the most relevant ideas to be developed by teams of up to 8 members led by an experienced team manager. During the 48-hour hackathon, teams will be able to create a pitch, prototype, or product to present in front of a panel of experts.
