01 / WHAT IS REPRAC+
School is the start.
The city is your playground.
We believe the best way to learn project management is to actually deliver a project.
REPRAC+ stands for Regional Project Academy. It connects primary and secondary schools, UJEP, the city and partners. Together we develop practical skills and turn the city's real needs into projects with tangible results.
How a city project is created ↗One team
Primary school pupils, secondary students and UJEP students bring different perspectives and learn from each other.
