Clubes TED-Ed is a non-profit educational initiative that aims to transform education by placing the ideas of young people aged 12 to 18 at the center and connecting with educational communities. It is a social technology that provoques new ways of listening, connecting, evaluating, and ideating. The program supports educational institutions that choose to encorage young people in their quest for their passions and in the development of skills to generate and communicate.
In Argentina we have a crisis of listening and dialogue. We call it rift, polarizations, cyber-harassment, bullying. We need to train adolescents who can listen, make themselves heard and exercise critical thinking as well as adults who know how to listen to them. In order for Clubes TED-Ed Argentina to be free for all students and educational institutions in Argentina, we receive contributions from people, companies and cooperation funds.
Participants develop an idea based on their own interests and create a TED-style talk which they later present at an event within their educational community. Young people develop soft skills such as teamwork, communication, problem-solving, flexibility, and time management. We work with students, teachers, school administrators, parents, education ministries, and the entire educational community to make a change. At Clubes TED-Ed Argentwe place the protagonists of education at the center stage.
We want to transform education by creating new links that rebuild the educational fabric. We build innovative educational communities with adolescents involved in their own education that promote skills that will be fundamental for the future of society and work. We want all students in Argentina to have the possibility of going through the program and for this we want to bring Clubes TED-Ed Argentina to all secondary schools in the country.
