TiNi: Tierra de Niñas, niños y jóvenes

TiNi is a methodology that links girls, boys and young people to Mother Earth and empowers them as agents of change for sustainable development. It consists of granting them a space of land, which can be from three pots, where they nurture life and biodiversity with love and generate well-being for themselves, other people, and nature. TiNi can be implemented at home, school, neighborhood, and community, in urban and rural areas, and in various ecosystems. TiNi helps to develop active empathy for life and serves as an indicator of the contribution of the NNJ to the sustainable development of their locality.

Minciencias (ONDAS)

ONDAS is a program of the Department of Vocations and Training in CTel, of the Vice Ministry of Talent and Social Appropriation, which seeks to attract children, adolescents and young people to science and technology and develop attitudes and skills so that they find in the science and research a passion and a possible life project.

To achieve this, Ondas has a pedagogical and methodological proposal that allows children to question, experiment, check and open the doors of their school to new ways of understanding the world through research, the mediation of their teachers, interaction with expert professionals from different areas of knowledge and constant dialogue with their community.
