Module: Workshops in groups
An online course is an excellent opportunity to broaden your knowledge. However, we recognise that a significant value of courses lies in the exchange of experiences among participants. This requires a certain level of openness and willingness to collaborate, which can sometimes only be fully unlocked through face-to-face interaction and the use of appropriate workshop solutions. That is why the programme for in-person courses includes 'Workshops in groups using real documents and a selected workshop format,' lasting approximately 90 minutes. These workshops are conducted during the second part of the course.

COURSE METHOLODOGY:
Use logic models (inspired by formal methods in CS) to define the municipal hunger challenge as a system of inequalities, specifying variables (e.g., food access gaps, policy misalignment) and constraints (e.g., budget limits, climate risks).

COURSE SUMMARY:
This course empowers a global community to dismantle hunger through:
1. Systemic Analysis: Diagnosing root causes in conflict zones, climate-vulnerable regions, and urban slums.
2. Grassroots Innovation: Scaling hyper-local models
3. Tech-Driven Scaling: Leveraging AI, EO data, and apps to optimize resource allocation.
