How we do it
- Sharing knowledge and experiences with MJA LAB.
- Collaborating with other associations at national and international level.
- Creating through volunteer connectors a network of collaborators (organizations, companies and local groups) so that they may offer opportunities and solutions to the identified needs.
- Learn from your own experience and from other entities to standardize a “service model” that allows to scale up the model.
