▶Objectives
The project aims to create a methodology for UDANs that discovers, connects, and mobilises local resources through physical and virtual educational environments. Specific objectives include deepening the ABCD approach, developing a common toolbox, implementing tools in pilot projects, and disseminating methodologies and results. These objectives promote inclusive learning, civic engagement, and digital transformation to empower communities and enhance local identity and opportunities.
▶Activities
The activities to be implemented include a virtual course on ABCD principles, an ABCD Innochallenge, and three sequential activities in WP3 focused on developing inventories related to Positive Deviance. These activities aim to deepen understanding, develop common toolboxes, and test tools in pilot projects. There will also be communication activities in Alicante and Montpellier, as well as a dissemination event in Brussels, to share the project's progress and outcomes with wider audiences.
▶Impact
The project expects to achieve a comprehensive understanding of ABCD principles among partners, raise awareness and practical knowledge of the transdisciplinary approach of ABCD. It also aims to develop a transmedia communication toolkit for Positive Deviance, implement tools in pilot communities, and monitor their usage. Communication events will disseminate project processes and outcomes, fostering community engagement and transnational discourse on Urban Deprived Areas and Neighbourhoods.
