Re-evolving MTA to learn how to inhabit a world in transition
Welcome to LEINN!
We have just kicked off the new academic year of MTA with more than 400 young people from 20 nationalities eager to unlearn and create their way from the age of 18. It sounds impossible, but this is the first thing they encounter when they enter this degree: reality and the responsibility to do with it what they think is important.
Some start by focusing on diversity, others on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), on how technology affects us, and they have even created their first 3D prototypes of ideas. They also spend two days in the mountains to create the teams and have a real immersion in the grade, we call it Forest&Back. All this during their first week at the University.
This new energy is created when you have in the same community, connected and global, more than 1,000 people studying LEINN in the different labs around the world. Developing their critical spirit, cooperative leadership or planetary awareness. An adventure that we could summarize in five verbs: create, innovate, travel, cooperate and lead.
Starting today and over the next four years, they will create a real company, entrepreneurial team projects and their own learning process.
In these projects they will work to find innovative solutions to the challenges and problems of the environment and will do so by developing an innovative work culture.
They will train their eyes with readings, learning trips and stays in countries such as Korea or Costa Rica. In addition, this year we are bringing back the trip to India.
Throughout the adventure they will cooperate with each other, with other LEINN Team Companies and also with companies in those sectors in which they show interest.
All these ingredients will help them to develop their leadership skills, at the same time that they are challenged to be leaders.
In addition, during this time we have also trained our eyes to re-evolve the model and adapt it to a world in transition. We are learning that in the face of exponential changes our linear lives do not know how to adapt, and we have made that challenge our own.
That is why we have incorporated the program "Technologies for a world in transition" where we methodologically start from a prospective view that helps us to build a shared vision and use concrete case studies to find technological uses with a high positive impact. We will arrive at the technologies applied in our project after having understood a complex problem, using a systemic thinking and drawing a desirable future oriented to change.
We are sure that this adventure will be worth the joy of living for the 400 new LEINNers who have joined MTA's community of team entrepreneurs this week. A community that has also joined this year the entrepreneurial ecosystem of Malaga.
