Learn Africa Annual Meeting: Boosting Women’s Leadership and Innovation in Spain with GEINNOVA

23 de June de 2024

The I Annual Meeting of the Learn Africa Programme was held on Wednesday 12 June at the UNED Pontevedra. The aim of this event was to bring together all the beneficiaries of the Learn Africa scholarships in Spain to get to know each other, establish institutional contacts and interact with the Women for Africa Foundation and the collaborating universities.
After the l Annual Meeting of the Learn Africa Programme, the students participated in a training session on leadership, personal development and entrepreneurship given by the GEINNOVA team, specifically Carlos Franco Uliaque, for those who speak Spanish, and Naomi Nervo for those who were more comfortable in English.

During the 3-hour session, participants had the opportunity to learn and practice key topics such as innovation, creativity, self-care and professional effectiveness. This event was not only a platform for knowledge sharing, but also for the exchange of ideas and collaboration.

For several years, the foundation has been committed to leadership and soft skills training within the framework of several of its projects. This type of training not only provides women with the skills and knowledge they need to take up leadership positions, but also challenges and transforms traditional structures that often limit their progress.

Fostering women’s leadership contributes to the creation of more inclusive and equitable environments, boosting women’s participation and empowerment.

The aim is to teach them how to create good work policies, assess risks, and train for safe remote work practices. Tips and insights from the Healthy Workplaces Campaign to help workers set up their home offices in a way that reduces risks and makes work more enjoyable will be used.

The Project focus is on:
Managing the Project: Working closely with all partners to make sure everything stays on track.
Hybrid Work Toolkit: Making a toolkit full of resources to help companies implement good hybrid work policies and overcome challenges like feeling isolated or working too much.
Training Program: Creating a training program for HR professionals and managers on how to make digital work better for everyone’s well-being.
E-learning Portal: Building an online learning hub where HR professionals, managers, and anyone interested can find resources to help with digital well-being and effective hybrid work environments.
Spreading the Word: Plan to make sure people learn about our project and benefit from it. Using a clear and attractive design for our materials and stay active online.

GEINNOVA is working in collaboration with a variety of partners, including companies experienced in hybrid work, HR associations, training organizations, universities, chambers of commerce, NGOs, government agencies, and workers’ groups.

Future scientists in action: Santa Ana School in Calatayud organises practical science activity for students with the ERASMUS + CCDE Project

14 de March de 2024

The students of Santa Ana school in Calatayud have enjoyed today an exciting scientific experience in which they have learned about chemical reactions in a fun and interactive way.

This has been made possible through the Comarca de Calatayud with the collaboration of the GEInnova team that develops the European project “Circular chemistry in the digital era” to improve science learning in the classroom in a practical and fun way.

The activity consisted of filling some bottles with lemon juice and others with vinegar and then placing a balloon in the mouth of the bottle, which contained sodium bicarbonate. By mixing the two ingredients, a chemical reaction took place, generating carbon dioxide, a gas that inflated the balloon without the need to blow it up.
The students were able to watch in amazement as the balloon inflated by itself, while learning about the basic principles of chemistry and physics. The activity allowed them to understand concepts such as chemical decomposition, gas formation and pressure.

Santa Ana School in Calatayud is committed to an innovative and experiential education that motivates students to learn and discover the world around them. Through these types of activities, the school seeks to encourage scientific curiosity, critical thinking and creativity in its students.

The “Re-Cultural Heritage” project has reached its conclusion after two years of work and collaboration for cultural heritage preservation and sustainable development in Europe. This project funded by the European Union, has focused on the preservation and promotion of cultural heritage, the promotion of rural tourism and professional development.

On 22 February, we organised an event in the Pignatelli Hall which was attended by a diverse group of people to hear presentations by the management of the Santa María de Albarracín Foundation, the Directorate General for Cultural Heritage of the Government of Aragon and our management.

We at GEINNOVA announce the completion of the “Re-Cultural Heritage” Project with pleasure, presenting the activities and results obtained thanks to the collaboration of our European partners. With special thanks to the Santa María de Albarracín Foundation. The Foundation dedicated to turning Albarracín into a cultural emblem, has been the European coordinator in the implementation of our initiatives.

The main focus of “Re-Cultural Heritage” has been to integrate the preservation of cultural heritage with the economic and social development of the local community. It is a matter of revitalising the cultural environment to generate employment opportunities and sustainable growth in rural tourism.

This project’s strategy focuses on empowering the community to take an active role in the management and promotion of their heritage. This ensures long-term sustainability and greater involvement of local inhabitants in the conservation of their cultural identity.
