New ways of Communicating Hispanic Heritage

Tetuan Valley
El Ideatón es un evento colaborativo donde tanto participantes como ponentes podrán reunirse para para generar ideas innovadoras y lanzar nuevas iniciativas. El objetivo es combinar conocimientos, experiencias y recursos para sembrar soluciones creativas que puedan seguir desarrollándose después de COMHIS. El gran reto de este Ideatón es crear puentes que conecten generaciones, culturas, territorios, saberes y proyectos del mundo hispanohablante, visibilizando lo que nos une sin borrar lo que nos distingue. Desde la lengua hasta la historia compartida, la música y la tecnología, buscamos generar ideas que inspiren colaboración real, que activen redes dormidas y que reinventen cómo nos comunicamos y creamos juntos, sin importar el país, la edad o el acento. Los participantes están invitados a proponer nuevas plataformas, negocios, proyectos, productos o espacios que hagan posible esa conexión entre personas, saberes y territorios.
