School of Citizenship

This is an in-person program based in Santiago del Estero, Argentina with the aim of  coexistence, reflection, and the exchange of ideas and values. We believe it is essential to involve all social and community actors at the local, national, regional, and global levels to foster a comprehensive vision of the challenges the world faces today.

Our slogan is: “Virtue as a guide”

Building a Virtue Citizenship

The School promotes virtuous citizenship, where civic engagement is ongoing and seeks collective well-being. Through systemic transformation, the program fosters a deep understanding of social dynamics to address root problems.

Our Goals:

Create a space where young people can acquire technical, social, and ethical tools to design and implement public and private policies for social progress.

Educate participants on new global paradigms to address 21st-century challenges.

Strengthen leadership skills related to teamwork and interpersonal relationships.

Develop connections among people from different countries in the region to build networks and enhance efforts among key stakeholders.

Methodology

The School of Citizenship follows a workshop format with a group of participants aged 16 to 35 from diverse sectors (business, political, civil, educational, etc.).

The program focuses on the following methodologies:

  • Training and Conferences: This is the primary mode of learning, including public sessions and workshops to practice skills, delivered through discussion panels or individual training sessions.
  • Conversations: Engaging with leaders from public and private sectors at local, regional, and national levels.
  • Debate Sessions: Focused on common-interest topics, these sessions develop argumentative and public speaking skills.
  • Social-Community Intervention Projects: Participants apply their knowledge by presenting projects based on methodological planning standards.
  • Cooperation: Encouraging collaboration with local, national, and global organizations, both in person and virtually, to expand networks and foster cooperative efforts.
