A beautiful day took place this week at our headquarters, within the framework of the month of love and friendship. On this occasion, our children and adolescents were able to enjoy various spaces where, with great joy and fun, they strengthened skills such as creativity, empathy, communication, and cooperation. We highlight the importance of the value of friendship in our society.

Continuing with our entrepreneurship initiative, this week we held a fast pastry workshop at our Lipaya branch. This time, we had the participation of Gineth Cabrera, one of our graduates who has been developing her own pastry line through her venture “Brown.” She also guided the mothers and guardians of our members in creating delicious recipes. Additionally, she provided a talk on cost techniques and how to embark on entrepreneurship based on various dessert creations.

During this session, the children and teenagers from the foundation experienced a comprehensive educational space. We focused on assertiveness in decision-making, promoted teamwork, encouraged healthy competition, and through playful tools and videos, discussed the topic of Sustainable Development Goals and the goals to achieve a protected country and a peaceful society.

This week, through our entrepreneurship program and in collaboration with the National Learning Service SENA, we started an exciting jewelry-making course. This space will enable the mothers and guardians of our members to learn and develop new techniques, acquiring skills in crafting various accessories.

Global warming and native fauna were the topics addressed this week with our boys and girls. Activities such as recognizing endemic species of Colombia, screening documentaries, active participation, and idea generation were conducted. This made the morning of learning very enjoyable.

This week, young people from the leadership project carried out various recreational activities aimed at strengthening civic participation, taking into account the opinions of team members, which contribute to a higher likelihood of effective and efficient solutions to a specific problem.

During this session, the boys and girls from the foundation contributed to environmental conservation. Recycled paper allows giving a second life to this material, primarily composed of cellulose fibers from tree wood. Additionally, they learned about psychoeducational topics such as assertive conflict resolution, cooperative play, and teamwork.

A morning of activities was carried out with our children and adolescents. We worked through playful activities in processes against school bullying, taking into account assertive communication, interpersonal relationships, and empathy.

The youth participating in the project “Community Leaders of Southwest Barranquilla” have a training manual that includes all the content of the training workshops, presented in a creative and graphic manner, with language adapted to the youth population. This manual incorporates various pedagogical elements that facilitate the development of communication skills and provide comprehensive care pathways to protect human rights and promote civic participation.
