Project to empower Medellín's youth with Web3 and ReFi innovations to tackle local challenges via onboarding, hackathons, incubation, and investment, seeking $28,200 for activities and events.

We are the movement towards a more sustainable and equitable future in #Medellín.

The goal of the node is to nurture community conversations around Web3 enabled regenerative-oriented-innovations (ROIs) and empower the youth in Medellín to address some of our city's most pressing challenges through hackathons, incubation, and investment. These challenges include poverty, inequality, youth unemployment, and a general lack of access to resource flows such as energy, water, sanitation, housing, and education.

Brief explanation of this project:

With this project we will develop the ReFi understanding and with it we will improve the environmental and social impact that new ventures can have in the Region, creating a new focus for ReFi projects and understanding, helping us to grow economically without destroying our environment and our lives in the process. We also work hand in hand with ReFiDAO helping to onboard more people into the ReFi environment.

Objective for this funding:

We want to carry out onboarding activities so that more people learn about the ReFi movement and focus their projects on this path and philosophy.

With greater awareness of the existence of this type of projects and technologies, we are sure that they will add very well to the city's trend of new technology-based ventures, progressively creating a boom in ReFi companies in the region with global impact.

Our aim is to empower the youth in Medellín to address some of our city's most pressing challenges through hackathons, incubation, and investment. These challenges include poverty, inequality, youth unemployment, and a general lack of access to resource flows such as energy, water, sanitation, housing, and education.
