Strengthen and expand the ReFiColombia community by improving communication, creating social media presence, hosting events, developing a website, founding new nodes, forming strategic alliances, and organizing an environmental sustainability hackathon.
STRENGTHENING AND EXPANSION OF THE REFICOLOMBIA COMMUNITY
Brief explanation of this project:
ReFiColombia is a vibrant community that unites all ReFi nodes in the country, including Medellin, Bogota, Saravena, and the future one in Cartagena. Our main objective is to promote the growth and development of Regenerative Finance (ReFi) technology in Colombia, as well as to foster collaboration and knowledge sharing among local nodes. In this proposal, we present a plan to strengthen and expand ReFiColombia, providing comprehensive support to existing nodes and promoting the creation of new nodes throughout the country.
