Social Hackathon Umbria 2025 - 3/6 July in Spello (Italy)

More than 300 participants from all over the world will share their views on three thematic areas related to diversity:

• BIO–diversity | Propose a digital solution that favours the protection, restoration and promotion of the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainable forest management, combating desertification and land degradation, and halting the loss of biodiversity.
• NEURO-diversity | Propose a digital solution that promotes inclusivity and exploits the unique strengths of neurominorities, for greater awareness and support for mental health, adapting different learning styles, promoting decent work and economic growth.
• SOCIO-diversity | Propose a digital solution that supports the creation of a global community in which individuals of different ethnicities, religious beliefs, socio-economic status, language, gender and/or sexual orientation can enhance their diverse knowledge, backgrounds, experiences and interests.

It is possible to participate in the event in different ways:

• Do you have an idea or a solution to one of the three thematic challenges of SHU2025?
  The hackathon is the main event of SHU2025 and will see teams of 8-10 participants, coordinated by an expert mentor, confront each other through the co-creation of any type of digital service or product (e.g. Apps, Web Portals, Digital Games, etc.).
