Active projects

  • At the scientific-technical level, this project will develop a conceptual and methodological model to use scenario planning and backcasting to identify three future scenarios for each key area included in the National Strategy in 2030. A policy brief and other documents will be produced to ensure that the National Strategy achieves its objectives based on these scenarios. In terms of social impact, Roma participation will ensure the impact of measures developed to get more children, adolescents and young people on the educational ladder, to digitise their traditional employment niches, among other key areas. Our proposal will offer value-added opportunities to strengthen the role of women in the leadership of community organisations and other social spaces for political participation.
