The CLF4D is the first practical expression of a wider network of clusters and local units which adhere to the principles and operational methods of the Crowddreaming Hackademy, an international movement aiming at creating dependence on innovative and critical thinking as a basis for the development of the so-called soft skills and an eclectic and flexible culture, where technology is chosen and used consciously and not as an act of faith.

EGInA joins NGI with the SEED project – Smart Entrepreneurial Education and training in Digital farming.
Innovation for Inclusion represents a new form of cooperation among previously unconnected European organisations that are now linked by a social challenge.
All members search for innovative solutions to solve complex problems and social challenges, such as the social and labour inclusion of disadvantaged groups.
