Objectives

RAIS, Red de Aprendizaje de Innovación Social, is a network for the learning of social innovation. We are creating a regional network that teaches and provides tools useful for the implementation of innovative concepts.

Activities

The first RAIS edition will be a regional offline/ online course about innovation. Every participant will work on the development of a project through which he will apply and practice the syllabus proposed by RAIS. The syllabus will cover different innovation subjects: Human centered design, collaborative work and project development, among others.

Strategic Allies

RAIS works as a partner with different local organizations. This is important because it is a way to create a regional project on a more efficient way. It has partnered with the organizations were the RAIS country leaders belong.The partners are: Aequales (Colombia, Perú, Argentina), Avanti (Ecuador), Fundación Emprender Futuro (Bolivia), Fundación SUM (México), KOGA (Paraguay).Other partners are: IBM, who has facilitated the Melian online platform for teaching.
