In this framework, Mireia Pi, responsible for the Haz project, and Alicia Izquierdo, councilor for innovation, urban digitalization, promotion of technological and business investment, and attracting investments from the Malaga City Council, have made this collaboration official, which allows access to RTVE Institute online courses with discounts of up to 100% for members of this entity on matters related to the audiovisual sector. These training courses, taught by active sector professionals, are practical, tutored and focus on employability.

Mireia Pi recalled at the event that RTVE Instituto has a track record of more than 50 years, enriched by the collaboration with public institutions: "This agreement symbolizes the importance of collaborating with all agents in the sector, it is not just a strategic agreement. There is a need for talent, entrepreneurs and people who want to advance in the development of projects in the audiovisual sector."
