Altheo Valentini
Steering Group member
| Sociologist and communicator, Altheo deeply believes in transformative social change. For this reason, almost ten years ago, he’s been captured by the magic world of Hackathons and he’s launched the first Social Hackathon Umbria, a 48-hour digital marathon for the co-creation of innovative solutions aimed at solving different societal challenges. He is a member of national associations and networks in the field of innovation (General States of Innovation) and he is chairing the board of international organisations, such as All Digital for the promotion of digital skills and the Europeana Education Community. M.A. in "Publishing, Media and Journalism", he has been working for more than 15 years as a project manager in the framework of various financing instruments of the European Commission, with a particular focus on digital and social innovation. To do his job in the best way, 8 years ago he founded the European Grants International Academy Srl, a training agency in the VET and Adult education sector and a consultancy company in European projects design and implementation. He is glad to join the Steering Group of DigiEduHack because he believes it is important to sensitize and orient the new generations to the multiple innovation opportunities that the current digital transformation process can offer in the educational sector. |
