"Itinerario de formación para jóvenes a través del desarrollo de competencias personales y profesionales, el conocimiento de los principales retos de la sociedad y la formación en empoderamiento cívico e innovación social. ¿Qué es el programa Young Civic Leaders? El programa Young Civic Leaders es un itinerario de formación juvenil impulsado por la Fundación Tatiana que tiene como objetivo formar jóvenes que quieran ejercer un liderazgo cívico en su generación a través del desarrollo propio de competencias personales y profesionales, el conocimiento de los principales retos de la sociedad y la formación en empoderamiento cívico e innovación social. Un programa que tiene, desde hace cinco años, como finalidad la formación cívica de los jóvenes, que los sitúa a ellos en el centro de su historia y que les hace responsables del futuro que están construyendo. Es también el lugar perfecto para relacionarse con una comunidad de jóvenes inquietos, inconformistas, brillantes y activistas. Un entorno para formarse y para no olvidar nunca todo lo que queda por aprender. Un espacio en el que desempolvar la curiosidad y hacer preguntas, y una plataforma para probarse y crear. Es un programa Competitivo para el que pedimos participación activa e implicación."

"The time is now: the crisis resulting from climate change is huge, impossible to ignore, and demands an immediate response of an unprecedented magnitude in our history. Flavia Broffoni is the leader of Extinction Rebellion in Argentina, and tells us how civil disobedience is one of the ways for the world to remain our world and last for long. She is a political scientist specializing in international relations and environmental policy, but she defines herself as an "anti-extinction activist and regenerative practitioner." Among many works, she was Policy Coordinator of the Wildlife Foundation / WWF and Director of Environmental Strategies of the Environmental Protection Agency of the City of Buenos Aires. She is the founder of AI.Re, a regenerative intelligence accelerator and coordinates the non-violent civil disobedience movement "Extinction Rebellion" in Argentina. "

"... Soil is the bedrock of civilization (Perlin 1991, Ponting 1993). Biofuels are not sustainable or renewable. Why would we destroy our topsoil, increase global warming, deplete and pollute groundwater, destroy fisheries, and use more energy than what's gained to make ethanol? Why would we do this to our children and grandchildren? Perhaps it's a combination of pork barrel politics, an uninformed public, short-sighted greedy agribusiness corporations, jobs for the Midwest, politicians getting too large a percent of their campaign money from agribusiness (Lavelle 2007), elected leaders without science degrees, and desperation to provide liquid transportation fuels (Bucknell 1981, Hirsch 2005). ..."

"In 1973, near the height of the 'population bomb' panic, a computing programme called World1 offered up some predictions for the future. It anticipated a grim picture for humanity based on current trajectories. Tracing categories such as population, pollution and natural-resource usage, World1 calculated that, by 2040, human civilisation would collapse - a century after the best year to have been alive on the planet: 1940. This film was originally broadcast by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) News as part of a report on predictions for the coming decades made by cutting-edge computing technology and leading thinkers of the time. The second segment features interviews with members of the Club of Rome, an elite think tank composed of government officials, academics and business leaders focused on the future of humanity. Their view is a bit sunnier, anticipating a world where global governments are forced to cooperate to solve complex problems, people widen their cultural horizons and work fewer hours, and limited consumption - not wealth - becomes a mark of prestige. Viewed today, it makes for an engrossing artifact, raising far more questions than it answers about humanity's ability to effectively predict its future and correct its course."
