Esta es una propuesta que actualmente implemento en las clases de apoyo de Historia a mi cargo. El objetivo es incluir las TIC y hacer mas dinamicas e integrales las clases aplicando herramientas conocidas por los alumnos. Teniendo en cuenta que el adolescente del siglo XXI busca nuevas formas de interaccion con sus pares, he aprovechado las potencialidades de la red social facebook en modalidad "grupo" para orientarla hacia un uso didactico y pedagogico del espacio historia argentina.

Consultations with young people and solution providers on education, skills ,...Shravan Shetty
YuWaah! aims to enable sustained and coordinated investments to co-create solutions for learning (including alternative and flexible learning programmes), life and employability skills, career guidance and employment opportunities (including entrepreneurship). The target of the partnership is on adolescents and young people in school (25 million), out of school (20 million) and in institutions (4 million).
“What we need is to unleash the entrepreneurial spirit in India, especially encourage women entrepreneurs. Gender parity is essential for our growth” We will be supporting 500 innovation labs in the next three years, unleashing the entrepreneurial spirit of India”, said NITI Aayog CEO, Amitabh Kant.
The current workforce in India is 480 million, of whom 93 per cent (446 million) are employed in small, informal-sector enterprises. More than 60 per cent (288 million) are employed in rural India. In addition, 90 per cent of India’s workforce has received no formal skills training. In the next twenty years, India’s current population of 444 million children will enter the working age. India will have a huge task to equip these adolescents with marketable skills.
YuWaah! aims to support this massive exercise by bringing together key stakeholders to recognize, design and implement solutions to expand employment and entrepreneurship opportunities for education, skills, decent jobs and sustainable livelihoods – that are accessible to all.
“Despite significant progress for children in their first decade of life — through reduced child mortality and increased access to primary school — tens of millions of adolescents in India are not getting the support that they need through their second decade of life. And this is especially true for girls, migrants, children with disabilities, and those belonging to historically disadvantaged communities,” said Ms Fore during her interaction with young people at the consultation.
In addition to this, Ms Fore also recognized three big opportunities in India: scaling-up flexible education options; expanding social-protection programmes; and supporting young people supporting other young people.
Over 60 adolescents and young people from various parts of India, including from the most marginalized groups Dr. K.P Krishnan, Secretary, Skill Development and Entrepreneurship; Ms Rina Ray, Secretary, School Education and Literacy; Dr. Amarendra Kumar Dubey, Secretary, Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, along with representatives from the private sector, UN agencies and civil society organizations were present at the occasion.
