Presentación de Gorka Espiau, director de Innovación para las Regiones y Ciudades de The Young Foundation, en la sesión abierta del Máster en Estrategias y Tecnologías para el Desarrollo del 2 de diciembre
This document summarizes research findings from the Amplify Cymru programme about three Welsh communities: Aberystwyth, Connah's Quay, and Port Talbot. Over 350 community members participated in workshops, interviews, and discussions to share their perspectives. The research found that these communities value their strong sense of place and local identity. Residents feel pride in their natural environments and cultural assets but also face challenges like lack of opportunities, hidden poverty, and feeling overlooked by outsiders. However, the communities also demonstrate social resilience through everyday support of one another and coming together for celebrations that showcase community strengths and pride in their towns.

Cada solución aborda problemas como la escasez de agua, la falta
This document discusses a new approach to welfare that focuses on generating experiences through social innovation projects. It summarizes the background and motivation for analyzing social economy organizations and their contributions. A working group studied 16 innovative projects to identify the values and mechanisms they generate. The projects produced social, cultural, environmental, economic, and institutional values through mechanisms like identity, civic entrepreneurship, vision/learning, subsidiarity, participation, and networks. The analysis suggests public policy should support partnerships between public authorities and social organizations to provide efficient, high-quality welfare services.

Contemporary World - World of Ideas - Global Media CulturesNathanAmielAbadiano
The document discusses global media cultures and cultural imperialism. It provides context on the history of media from early forms of communication to the modern era. Mass media helps spread government messages while international agencies spread news globally. The emergence of social media has created a more interconnected global community. However, some argue that Western media dominance has led to cultural imperialism and the spread of Western values through mass media outlets. The document examines these issues and debates around globalization and cultural imperialism.

This document provides a summary of the history and evolution of UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund) over several decades. It describes how UNICEF was originally established in 1946 to provide emergency relief to children in war-torn Europe. It then expanded its mission to helping children worldwide, focusing on combating diseases and improving child health, nutrition, and education. The document highlights how in the 1980s under Executive Director James Grant, UNICEF adopted an ambitious goal of cutting worldwide child mortality in half by prioritizing simple and cost-effective interventions like breastfeeding promotion, oral rehydration, immunizations, and growth monitoring (the "GOBI" program). This strategic shift helped UNICEF generate significant
In 1946, six students from six European countries met in Stockholm, Sweden to establish an international student organization called AIESEC to promote friendship and understanding between countries in the aftermath of World War II. AIESEC has grown significantly since then, expanding to over 110 countries and territories and facilitating the exchange of thousands of students each year for professional training. The organization's mission and activities have evolved over time in response to world events, but its core focus has remained on developing global leaders through international internship experiences and programs.

Social Action and Community Media Existing Product ResearchRebecca Coughlin
The document provides case studies and information on four social campaigns:
1) Save the Children aimed to raise awareness of starving children and stop food waste through provocative bin messaging. It has helped millions of children since 1919.
2) The Salvation Army helps homeless people through shelters, jobs, and community ties to make the invisible visible.
3) It Stops With Me confronts racist stereotypes by highlighting common prejudiced Google searches and calls for changed views.
4) Case studies evidence long-term impact of campaigns' words and graphics in changing attitudes and helping people over many years.
Public relations involves promoting a favorable image for a person or group seeking public attention. It is the practice of conveying messages to the public through the media on behalf of a client, with the intention of changing public opinion and behavior. PR originated from propaganda but sought to present accurate information to gain public trust. Early pioneers like Ivy Lee and Edward Bernays professionalized the field by advising clients to provide transparency and engage stakeholders. Bernays also advocated appealing to opinion leaders to indirectly influence broader audiences. PR is now used widely by organizations, governments, and others to promote causes, products, and ideas through various traditional and new media.
The document discusses key events and developments in education between 1900-1950. Some highlights include:
- In the early 1900s, higher education institutions were established in the US to promote higher standards for universities.
- Mary McLeod Bethune founded a school for African American girls in 1904 that later merged and became Bethune-Cookman University.
- Alfred Binet and Theodore Simon created the Binet-Simon intelligence test in 1905 to identify students with mental retardation.
- John Dewey emerged as a leading progressive education philosopher in the early 1900s, advocating for experiential and problem-based learning approaches.
The history of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) began in the 1950s when pioneers with severe communication needs began using communication tables with letters and symbols to express themselves. Between the 1950s and 1970s, as medical care improved survival rates for conditions affecting communication, a few rehabilitation professionals began exploring augmentative ways to foster communication. The field of AAC emerged as a specialized area in the 1980s with the founding of the International Society for Augmentative and Alternative Communication to advocate for this approach.
UNICEF was established in 1946 to provide emergency relief to children affected by World War II. It has since evolved to focus on children's welfare globally by ensuring basic nutrition, health, education and advocating for children's rights. UNICEF is headquartered in New York and works in over 190 countries, supporting immunization programs, health services, education, and advocating for policies that protect children from exploitation. It was the first UN agency to receive the Nobel Peace Prize in 1965 in recognition of its efforts.
