WHY IT MATTERS

  • Improves peoples’ quality of life around the world through sustainable projects over time.
  • Creates solutions to social problems in an efficient and simple way that can be replicated in other contexts.
  • There is a transformative value for the community where it is applied, as well as for the people who benefit from it.

WHAT JOVESOLIDES DOES

  • We encourage the consolidation of new initiatives through training and support, especially for people with limited financial resources.
  • We organise labs that provide resources and discover methodologies that will bring creative solutions to social problems.
  • We organise spaces for collective inspiration, such as the International Forum of Social Innovation to share the latest trends and facilitate networking.

  • The interesting thing about these labs is the methodology that we use. It is less about theoretical concepts, and more about the dynamics and games.

  • There are other ways to see things, and that can help us carry out projects that are beneficial to the community
