What: In this webinar you will be presented with 3 challenges of the COVID19 INSPIRE hackathon, all of them seeking to build an Atlas in their respective fields.

Ch. 2: The main idea of this challenge is to provide brainstorming on improvement of digital tools for online markets that support and promote local farmers and regional product suppliers. We will collect comments and suggestions that will be incorporated into development of Atlas of Regional Specialities.

Ch. 6: This challenge will collect and publish a set of best practices for coping with rural challenges in the context of COVID-19. The collection should contain examples from different sectors (public, private, third) to better reflect the diversity of tried and tested approaches and lessons learned. 

Ch. 12: This challenge focuses on solving the mentioned problems by promoting information, easier connection of voluntary work with the needs of social enterprises, (eg through harvesting days at social farms), or opportunities to participate in regionally available severe health disabled, or. vulnerable groups into the social enterprise as well as raising awareness of its production, quality, needs (eg work) and social benefits. We will provide a prototype of web application that visualize the location of a social enterprise, with information about its character, production and social value and also job offer of severe health disabled, or other vulnerable groups.
