Building Trust
The practice of design depends on what people are willing to share with us. The joy of creation is nurtured when practical ethical exercises are used during the different phases of the design process. Research in design is an expression of collaboration between individuals, where building a relationship of trust is paramount. The nucleus of this relationship can be divided into three broad concepts that can serve as vehicles for empathy: admiration, commitment, and integrity. We invite you to explore the power of consciousness through actions or activities that provides an empathic approximation to complex human realities. This set of cards contains questions, activities, and advice that we hope will work as a guide to help you design an approach to working with social groups that you can be proud of.
Biodesign in high schools
Traditional education, which is mainly based on evaluating theoretical content at the end of a course, is not in keeping with the skillset we require in the twenty-first century. Today, we need creative and innovative individuals who can think critically, who are capable of learning to learn, and who have complex problem-solving skills. We need people who can work collaboratively using transdisciplinary communication skills. We need citizens who are aware of local needs but have a global vision. They must make decisions not only based on their own well-being, but also in the best interests of the community and the planet. They must understand that the solution requires a balance. People can acquire these skills through design thinking, which builds the learning process by carrying out projects, and theorizes based on set challenges. Biodesign for High Schools is a pedagogical proposal that combines scientific topics with a creative approach; it offers a plethora of possibilities to prepare future high school graduates to respond to the needs of today's world.
De uno a todos
Nuestra práctica depende de lo que la gente esté dispuesta a compartir con nosotros. El gozo de la creación se nutre cuando se incluyen ejercicios prácticos de ética durante las diferentes fases del proceso de diseño. La investigación en diseño es una expresión de la colaboración entre personas donde es clave construir una relación de confianza. El núcleo de esta relación se puede dividir en tres grandes conceptos que conducen a la empatía: admiración, compromiso e integridad. Lo invitamos a explorar el poder de la conciencia en las acciones por medio de actividades que lo acerquen empáticamente a las complejas realidades humanas. ¡Bienvenido! En este set de tarjetas encontrará preguntas, actividades y consejos que esperamos se conviertan en una guía que le ayude a diseñar una aproximación al trabajo con comunidad del que pueda estar orgulloso.
Adentro | Vida En Bogotá
¿Qué puede contar de nosotros el lugar que habitamos? ¿,Qué guardamos en un cajónjunto a la cama, que un día, sin saberlo, podrá revelar 16 que fuimos? ¿Qué se ha impregnado de nosotros en la pintura de las paredes yen las alfombras gastadas de nuestra casa? ¿,Qué estamos atesorando cuando le damos un segundo giro de llave a La puerta de la casa? Adentro. Vida en Bogotá es un recorrido por esas historias incompletas que regalamos a la calle o a los vecinos cuando en las noches encendemos una luz tenue junto a una ventana sin cortinas para sentarnos a comer y repasar, solos o acompañados, nuestro día. En estas crónicas el autor se ha dedicado, como señala Ricardo Silva Romero ...
Biodiseño en colegios
La educación tradicional, que se basa principalmente en evaluar un contenido teórico al finalizar el curso, no se alinea con el desarrollo de competencias que requiere el ciudadano del siglo XXI. Hoy necesitamos individuos creativos e innovadores, con pensamiento crítico, capaces de aprender a aprender y con habilidades de resolución de problemas complejos. Personas que trabajen de manera colaborativa con habilidades de comunicación transdisciplinar. Ciudadanos que conozcan las necesidades locales con visión global y que tengan la capacidad de tomar decisiones y actuar considerando aquello que favorece el bienestar propio, el de la comunidad y el del planeta, y que comprendan que la solución radica en el equilibrio entre ellos.Estas habilidades pueden ser adquiridas por medio del pensamiento de diseño, el cual construye el aprendizaje mediante el desarrollo de proyectos y se teoriza de acuerdo con el reto que ha sido planteado. Biodiseño en colegios presenta una propuesta pedagógica en combinación con temáticas científicas y brinda un universo de posibilidades que prepara a los futuros bachilleres para responder a las necesidades del mundo de hoy.
Engaging Africa
Engaging Africa: Washington and the Fall of Portugal's Colonial Empire tells the story of how successive administrations--Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon and Ford--tried to maintain the confidence of their NATO ally, Portugal, while facilitating the process of decolonization in Angola and Mozambique. Ultimately becoming an epic battle of democracy versus dictatorship, African nationalism versus geo-strategic pre-eminence, and East versus West, this book, largely based on primary sources, tells the story of one of the Cold War's most intense confrontations.
Missing the Revolution
"The naturalizing perspective of Darwinian thought has become one of the major intellectual currents of our time, pervading contemporary understandings of human nature and society. Unfortunately, many social scientists in sociology, psychology, and sociocultural anthropology have failed to engage with it. Barkow asks his fellow social scientists to put aside their all-too-common preconceptions and stereotypes of the "biological" and to consider a powerful argument that is far different from that of those who once invoked a vocabulary of genes and Darwin as a justification for genocide. He argues that the theoretical perspective that has been so successful when applied to the behavior of every other animal speicies can be applied just as successfully to our own, and that the real debate is about how to apply it."--BOOK JACKET.
Religion, Culture, and Society in Colombia
"The book describes the crucial role played by religion and the Catholic Church, which underwent considerable growth after the turbulent period of mid-nineteenth century Liberal reforms until the end of the Conservative era in 1930. It traces the progress of parishes, devotional associations, religious communities, private and public religiosity, and numerous philanthropic societies."--BOOK JACKET.
