The Municipality of Concordia, through the Special Unit for Strategic Projects (UEPE), reaffirms its commitment to development and innovation by participating in the Local Innovators Program (PIL), an initiative led by AYNI, an alliance formed by the Local Innovation Network (RIL), Ashoka, CoLab, and Vía Educación. This program seeks to connect local leaders with social entrepreneurs to co-create innovative solutions that respond to the most urgent challenges in communities.
For six months, the PIL brought together 68 teams from Africa, Asia, and Latin America, including the Municipality of Concordia and the NGO “Volando Alto,” represented by María Felicitas Silva, a prominent leader in inclusive education and literacy in vulnerable contexts. Silva has been recognized as one of the 8 Solidarity Flag-bearers of Argentina, an award granted by Fundación Noble and Canal 13, which celebrates those Argentines who transform lives with their social commitment.
The joint work between the Municipality and “Volando Alto” not only addresses child literacy issues but also responds to the educational needs of mothers, who require tools to improve their job opportunities and build a better future for their families.
In this framework, an agreement was signed that will allow “Volando Alto” to access economic resources and facilities to expand its impact. Furthermore, members of this NGO are part of the Advisory Council of the Knowledge Economy, a key space to strengthen public policies on innovation, education, and quality employment in Concordia.
Those who made up this work team are: the Undersecretary of the Special Unit for Strategic Projects, Leandro Garbarino, the Director of Strategic Planning and Financing, Ignacio Terenzano, the Coordinator of the Advisory Council of the Knowledge Economy, Ivonne Saleh, and the Executive Director of the NGO Volando Alto, Florencia Martínez.
MORE INCLUSIVE AND COLLABORATIVE CITIES
The vision of the PIL is the transformation of cities into spaces of opportunity, where public, social, private, and academic sectors work together around key axes such as inclusion, equity, sustainable habitats, and the development of new capabilities.
Participation in this program reinforces the commitment of the Municipality of Concordia to intersectoral collaboration, demonstrating that the union between the public sector and civil society is fundamental to designing solutions with systemic impact.
LET'S SUPPORT OUR FLAG-BEARERS
From the Municipality, we invite the community to support María Felicitas Silva in the Solidarity Flag-bearers recognition. Those who wish to join can vote until Thursday, November 28.
The project that receives the most votes, will receive a sum of $10 million to continue transforming people's lives. Add your vote by clicking https://votacion.
