The Générations Actives movement of the UDI is launching its first edition of the political FAB-LAB, which will include a HACKATHON. Its objective: to bring forth innovative ideas and projects capable of changing the daily lives of young professionals.
Its ambition: to modernize the political debate through the realization of a genuine collaborative project. Candidates have until July 31, 2014, to register and participate.
Jennifer SALLES is the head of Générations Actives in Nice. She thus presented this innovative project aimed at bringing out new ideas.
The theme of this first FAB-LAB emerged naturally.
Nice Premium: What is the Fab-Lab?
Jennifer Salles: A Fab-Lab serves political innovation to create ideas!
By getting inspired by what exists and is being done outside of partisan structures and the professional realm, Générations Actives decided to break down barriers in the debate by creating the first political Fab-Lab. Much like in an incubator, where project leaders find support in terms of training, advice, and funding, we aim to assist in structuring projects to make them tangible.
NP: What are the participation requirements?
Jennifer Salles: The Fab-Lab is a collaborative project. To participate in the first phase of the project: the collaborative design phase of the Fab-Lab, participants must form a team of 3 to 5 people, complete the application form, and submit their contributions before July 31.
