Last Friday, April 25th, Encuentura was held, an event born from the need expressed by the participating initiatives themselves. LABINS ULL 2024 Awards<\/a>. The awards ceremony, held last December in the Aula Magna of the Central Building of the University of La Laguna, highlighted the collective desire to have a common space for exchange, mutual learning and shared action.<\/p>\n

As a result of that request, Encuentura has materialized as a connection experience to strengthen transformative social innovation in the Canary Islands, driven by the Social Innovation Laboratory of the University of La Laguna (LABINS ULL)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During the opening, M\u00f3nica Dios Rodr\u00edguez<\/a>, The Laboratory's pedagogical director emphasized the open and collaborative spirit of the meeting. With these words, she invited those present to embrace the inherent uncertainty of the process, trusting that this space could serve as a springboard for more coordinated and aligned action, pooling strengths, knowledge, and experiences for the benefit of shared well-being.<\/p>\n

The meeting was held in two complementary parts. In the first part, nine professionals from different organizations shared their experiences of positive change, showcasing diverse approaches but all deeply committed to transforming the region. Among them were: Tajea Lab<\/a>, Little Loves<\/a>, Campustage<\/a>, Cabildo Educa<\/a>, Association for Inclusion Join me<\/a>, Mapfre Canary Islands Foundation<\/a>, Mamachama<\/a>, Take care of your sexuality<\/a> y Girls Play Too<\/a>, generating a rich panorama of initiatives that work from the local level for collective well-being.<\/p>\n

In the second phase, a series of collaborative activities took place in which participants reflected on potential joint actions, exploring ways to coordinate efforts, share resources, and build alliances that enhance collective impact. Encuentura has been a first step towards a more connected, conscious, and collaborative approach to social innovation in the Canary Islands.<\/p>\n

The Social Innovation Lab at the University of La Laguna is analyzing the lessons learned and proposals that emerged from the meeting, with the aim of exploring new avenues for collaboration and outlining next steps.
