INNOVATION:We aim to add value to our communities and our society, to improve what already exists and to think outside the box

</li>

<li>

IMPACT:We seekto share the spirit of innovation, our accomplishments and, above all, to generate tangible results in the contexts we move in

</li>

<li>

INCLUSION:Not only we work from a place of multidisciplinarity, but also we intend that our successes reach those who are usually excluded and forgotten

</li>

</ul>

In addition, participants applied Lego Serious Play, another innovative methodology, useful to generate solutions.
