Active teaching and learning methodologies have changed the traditional teaching model. These have emerged as an innovative process which stimulates and develops students’ autonomy and critical thinking. The objective of this paper is to present the experience of the 6th batch of the Demola project which took place at the Polytechnic Institute of Beja, as an example of active teaching and learning methodologies, collaborative and co-creation problem solving, and of University/community relationship development. As expected, the different teams faced different problems and dealt with them in many different ways. This led to different results by the end of the project, and some were welcomed by the partner organizations as viable solutions to put into practice.
