SHiFT is a social innovation hub leading the transformation of post-conflict and/or marginalized zones towards peaceful and prosperous communities.

We will contribute to this objective by getting the residents together to increase collaboration and trust in each other, giving them capacities to work together on improving living conditions. Living conditions, social cohesion and stability are interdependent, and therefore it is necessary to address all to secure sustainability of our intervention.
