ENGLISH VERSION:

With the enthusiasm that always characterizes us, we want to inform you about the progress we have had to date with the development of this fourth cohort of the Jóvenes creaTIvos program that, as we mentioned in the previous report, in this year 2022 brought new challenges due to its growth in relation with the year 2021, not only in the number of beneficiaries (we passed from 90 to 300), but also in the number of cities in which it is being developed (we passed from 2 to 5) and also in the number of groups (we passed from 3 to 10).

Based in the information mentioned above, and in order to facilitate the correct development of the 10 groups that are part of the program this year, we divided its execution into 3 blocks. Below you will find the summary of the progress of each block:

In this way, and complementing the training workshops with extracurricular talks on different topics such as finance, negotiation and emotional intelligence, given by mentors belonging to our program allies, the progress has been made in the programmatic development of training for the beneficiaries who are part of the Jóvenes creaTIvos program.

On the other hand, on July 22, we had our face-to-face meeting in the city of Medellín with the monitors who help us coordinating each of the 10 groups, where through playful sessions we take stock of what has been advanced in this year, obtaining feedback from them to continue improving the program.

We have been very dedicated coordinating and developing each one of the tasks that we have just mentioned above, and we are very pleased to be able to present to you the progress in the goals that we have to carry out this cohort of the Jóvenes creaTIvos 2022 program.

We'll be sure to keep you informed on the progress of the program! Thanks to your support we continue transforming lives. Thank you for being transformative energy. Thank you for being ROFÉ!
