The fifth episode of “Voices of Engagement” explores a unique form of citizen engagement – hackathons! Our partner from Greece, Web2Learn, represented by Kateryna Boichenko, joins host Catherine Gibson to discuss this innovative format.
In this episode, Kateryna introduces Web2Learn and its expertise in fostering citizen engagement by connecting businesses and communities. She also highlights their experience organizing hackathons that engage citizens in humanitarian initiatives. One such example is the NASA Challenge, where the Space4UA team utilizes space data and Earth observations to monitor and visualize threats to Ukraine’s cultural heritage.
Additionally, Kateryna shares practical tips for educational institutions looking to involve the private sector in their initiatives.
