PUCRS faculty and students will be sharing the outcomes of pilot courses delivered in 2018
PUCRS will be well represented at the Encuentro Latinoamericano de Innovación y Emprendimiento Social from Apr 8 – 10, in Bogotá, Colombia: three of its professors as well as five of its students have been selected to take part in the event. The event will be held in support of Students 4 Change, an international project that is supported by Erasmus+. The project congregates PUCRS and 10 other universities from Latin America as well as 5 other universities from Europe.
This will be the moment to share the experiences gained in the pilot courses that were offered in the second semester of 2018, which was the fruit of labor from the Students 4 Change training program. Six courses on innovation and social entrepreneurship were offered at PUCRS. Dr Lucas Roldan, the project coordinator at the university, claims that this is an opportunity to learn, share and create strategies to keep the project going.
The following professors will be at the event: Dr Lucas Roldan, Mrs Loraine Bothomé Muller and Mr Vicente Bastos Zanella. Gabriel Santos Valério, Sabrina Pacheco, Maiara de Ávila dos Santos, Leonardo Contini De Bem and Tiarles Balboeno de Carli will be representing the student body in view of their academic standing. All their travels will be paid by the project.
