"Millennials en América Latina y el Caribe"

  ESTUDIO SOBRE LA REALIDAD DE LOS JÓVENES

 

Ante un panorama de incertidumbre y disrupción, marcado por la llegada acelerada de nuevas tecnologías y por la aparición de nuevas profesiones, diseñar las políticas adecuadas para que los jóvenes adquieran las habilidades necesarias para insertarse con éxito en el mercado laboral requería situar sus voces en el centro de gravedad. Para ello, varias organizaciones nos propusimos conocer, sin prejuicios ni estereotipos, qué hay detrás de las decisiones laborales y educativas de los jóvenes en América Latina y el Caribe.   Este Libro recopila y describe los principales resultados de un proyecto regional que contó con la participación de más de 15.000 jóvenes de entre 15 y 24 años en nueve países (Brasil, Chile, Colombia, El Salvador, Haití, México, Paraguay, Perú y Uruguay). La novedad del estudio es que va más allá de las variables que normalmente se consideran, al incorporar algunas que son poco convencionales como sus aspiraciones, expectativas y habilidades cognitivas y socioemocionales, etc. Con el objetivo de intentar entender mejor a los jóvenes para impulsar medidas más acordes a los desafíos actuales que en base de estos hallazgos  se creen nuevas y modenas políticas publicas que  permitan  desarrollar su potencial. Así esta publicación sugiere acciones de política que pueden ayudar a los jóvenes a realizar una transición exitosa desde sus estudios al mercado laboral. Los resultados de esta investigación, una radiografía detallada sobre los jóvenes de América Latina y el Caribe, ofrecen un panorama alentador en la mayoría de los aspectos. En él no hay cabida para prejuicios y estereotipos, como los que pesan sobre los millennials.

¿Que es ser Profesional? Julian Ugarte

INNOVACIÓN SOCIAL EN TEDxUTFSM

 

En esta  charla TEDxUFSM Julian Ugarte Co-Fundador de SociaLab nos lleva por un camino lleno de Disrupción e Innovación, realizando una provocadora  pregunta  ¿Que es ser Profesional?. Para redefinir este concepto nos hace pensar a través de  una analogía que le hizo Bernardo Toro, uno de los pensadores más importantes de la educación y la democracia en América Latina...   Si Messi y Neymar son dos de los futbolistas mas destacados a nivel mundial ¿son ambos profesionales si no fueron a la universidad?,  la respuesta es obvia ya que es inimaginable no considerarlos como dos de los más grandes profesionales en su rubro;  pero si ninguno curso la  educación superior;  entonces  que  significa realmente ser profesional. Ante esto Julian  nos propone otra visión de este termino que comúnmente utilizamos día a día, donde afirma que no es relativo a ir o no la Universidad, sino que es aquella persona que es Capaz de "Resolver Problemas en el Mundo Real" creando soluciones ante las distintas contingencias que se presentan en el día a día.








                        

"Feliz Navidad" Christmas Rock Cover

Feliz Navidad  Christmas Rock Cover

 Classic song by First To Eleven

"Feliz Navidad," like many Christmas songs, has been frequently covered. Notable artists who have recorded the song  and "First To Eleven" brings us a great rock cover of this great song...    "This song has always been a bridge to the cultures that are so dear to me, never as a vehicle for a political platform of racism and hate. It's disgusting and my only wish that my song and I are distanced from the whole affair as soon as possible" José Feliciano. "Feliz Navidad"  is a macaronic Christmas song written in 1970 by the Puerto Rican singer and songwriter José Feliciano. With its simple Spanish chorus (the traditional Christmas/New Year greeting, "Feliz Navidad, próspero año y felicidad" meaning "Merry Christmas, a prosperous year and happiness") and equally simple English verse "I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas from the bottom of my heart", it has become a classic Christmas pop song.

How Technology Is Transforming the Way We Teach and Learn

RAYA BIDSHAHRI VIA SINGULARITYHUB.COM

Our education system is in need of reform. Most students are not taught to be self-motivated lifelong learners, nor do they come out of the school system with the skills, mindsets, and values required to survive a world of accelerating change. Most students do not graduate to feeling inspired to contribute to human progress. Traditional school curricula have mostly gone unchanged for centuries, and there is a lack of scientific basis in pedagogy. There continues to be an emphasis on short-term grades and individual achievement. How can we effectively educate future generations? What do we need to change about mainstream education? The answer to these questions does not entail small incremental changes, but rather a complete overhaul of mainstream education as it exists today. It also requires changing how we define education to begin with. Technology is already transforming the way we teach and learn. Digital classrooms, global online collaborations, and personalized learning are just the beginning. What will these technological trends in EdTech lead to? What will the word “education” even mean 30 years from now?. READ NOW THIS FULL ARTICLE VIA SINGULARITY HUB!

"London Calling" The Clash

What is your favorite song of this innovative album?

London Calling is the third studio album by English punk rock band the Clash. Released in 1979, the cover was an homage to Elvis Presley debut album...    London Calling has been considered by many critics to be one of the greatest rock albums of all time.  Themes explored in the songs include social displacement, unemployment, racial conflict, drug use, and the responsibilities of adulthood. In a contemporary review for The New  York Times, John Rockwell said the album finally validated the acclaim received by the Clash up to that point because of how their serious political themes and vital playing were retained in music with innovative features and broad appeal: "This is an album that captures all the Clash's primal energy, combines it with a brilliant production job by Guy Stevens and reveals depths of invention and creativity barely suggested by the band's previous work."

"Godzilla:King Of the Monsters"

Which Of These Kaijus is your favorite?

The new story follows to Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Rodan, and his ultimate nemesis, the three-headed King Ghidorah. When these ancient super-species—thought to be mere myths—rise again, they all vie for supremacy, leaving humanity's very existence hanging in the balance.  Godzilla:King Of the Monsters. One of the films I'm looking forward too in 2019.  This American monster film is directed and co-written by Michael Dougherty. It is a sequel to Godzilla (2014) and will be the 35th film in the Godzilla franchise, the third film in Legendary's MonsterVerse, and the third Godzilla film to be completely produced by a Hollywood studio.
