=='''Strategic priorities ~~2023~~2024'''==

===<~~span style="font-size:medium;">''Strategy #1: ~~Create multidisciplinary groups~~ Support and guidance on frustration and fear of ~~students in wich they will solve as a team a real life problem, brought by the society nearby the campus~~academic failure.''</~~span></span~~sup>===~~Project name: Multidisciplinary Project

====== Project ~~leader~~name: ~~Juan Pablo Segarra~~Let's talk about two unnoticed subjects ======

~~Key tactics~~====== Project leader:Enzo Timote ======

~~#Define a clear project and what roles each member (students, professors and local entrepreneurs) will have.#Communication between the team members will be key, having in mind they have diferent roles in society, and normally don`t share too much activities in common.~~#Solve a real problem that may be of interest for them. For the students, put hand on work in a real life problem. For the professors, to teach the students in real time, solveing real life problems. Finally for the entrepreneurs, having a problem solved that may result into money savings.~~#Having feedback from the entrepreneurs would be key, into improving the project, aligning it to their interest.#Assigning a professor as the leader and link between students and local entrepreneurs#Open periodically a lapse of time, where entrepreneurs can present the issues they would like to be solved.~~#Students could present ideas that could solve problems, entrepreneurs could be interested. The best idea could be given a price, as a scholarship or recognition, that would promote the participation of students. ====== Key Tactics: ======

~~===Strategy #2: Give university~~ confidentiality and absolute privacy are guidelines to develop the project. * Evaluate and estimate the impact and interest of students ~~tools~~ in the new tool. * Establish a physical space to develop ~~ideas by working with young people~~ the activity. We urge NOT to carry it out virtually. * Conduct focus groups to identify the main sources of frustration, fear of failure and ~~children on~~ low performance among students. * Conduct continuous follow-up during the ~~making~~ first months of ~~a project~~implementation to check interest and receive feedback.~~===~~

=== ''Strategy #2: Foster emotional well-being through academic support networks'' ===

====== Project ~~name~~Name: ~~Workshops for children~~ The Meeting Point ======

====== Project ~~leader~~Leader: ~~Lucía Fernández~~María Eugenia Fedele ======

====== Key Tactics: ======

~~Key tactics:~~ # Integrate social activities that promote healthier environments as a main priority for academic goals, incorporating social and emotional well-being into education.# Establish both local and digital support networks for students to share their academic and personal concerns, in a non-judgmental environment. The idea is to provide a safe space for communication and mutual support.# The development of a virtual safe space, an interactive digital poster with various spaces and links where students can express their feelings, seek for academic advice, or share activities. Must prioritize user anonymity to ensure a safe environment for all.# Free access to different resources, like volunteer mentors, shared bibliographic sources, creative and emotional support tools, such as information and accessible mental health advisors.# In case of emergency, includes emergency contacts to ensure immediate help that is available. # To prevent misuse, apply controls and restrictions that maintain the platform’s integrity. Moderation tools should be established to avoid bullying or inappropriate behavior, ensuring the space remains supportive and respectful.

~~- Design the first part of the course. The central guidelines should be: project/workshops design and implementation.~~

- For the second part of the course, teachers and professors express their interest in developing a project in a thematic area related to UTEC careers and the work group of university students is assigned to develop and implement the workshop.

~~- In the future the idea is that the old participants take place as referents, imparting the course volunteering, but in the beginning we should form some references to start.~~

~~- Establish the characteristics of schools and high schools that we will ask to be involved.~~

- The main reason why students would not participate is because they do not have free time. Evaluate the possibility of designing the course so that a reasonable amount of time is invested but as limited as possible. It must be taken into account that correct development cannot be jeopardized by time reductions.

~~- Define the amount of credits that students will get as exchange for participating~~

~~- The objective of the course is not to strongly train the student in I&E, it is a kickstart to motivate them to continue with other more specific courses in the future. ~~

~~===Strategy #3: Implementing pedagogical workshops to work along students===~~

~~Project leader: Martina Fernández~~

~~Key tactics~~

*Focus on the well-being of students so that they make better use of opportunities.

*Caring for individuals to generate a better academic and social environment.

*Reinforcing communication and difussion to improve present opportunities and increase their use.

===Strategy #4: Create a platform that provides students with high-quality, up-to-date, and error-free materials.===

~~Project name: Colaborative app~~

~~Project leader: Valentina Egger~~

~~KeY Tactics:~~

~~#Design a well MVP to start with the app.~~

~~#Talk to the area managers to define strategies to review the material.~~

~~#Control how people can present their materials.~~

~~#Assign a review committee for material or errors detected.~~
