Open calls for Volunteers

Mine Vaganti NGO in the realm of formal and non-formal education, promotes a pioneering and transformative initiative known as “Student Challenge” aimed at university students. This innovative educational module harnesses elements from the academic world, such as poster presentations, and melds them with structured guidelines to foster students’ critical thinking and analysis skills. Through a blend of non-formal education techniques and a bespoke mentorship scheme, participants delve into real-world case studies, crafting their own tailored solutions. The culmination of their efforts manifests in a collaborative poster presentation, wherein teams showcase their insights and proposals. Not merely an academic exercise, the Student Challenge serves as a dynamic platform for honing soft skills, refining public speaking prowess, boosting the entrepreneurial acumen. Originally piloted in collaboration with La Sapienza University, this initiative has since expanded to include partnerships with esteemed institutions like Fordham University of New York and numerous others. Central to its success is the fusion of experiential learning opportunities with tangible outcomes, wherein students receive recognition and marks for their innovative endeavors, thereby bridging the gap between theory and practice.
