The Start of the Foundation
The Talita Cumi Foundation is an initiative of a group of people interested in the well-being of the community and the Country, who seek to promote entrepreneurial culture among children and young people as a tool to contribute to the economic and social development of the community.
The Talita Cumi Foundation wishes to focus the cognitive development of the participants, paying attention to their emotional development and their education for life. In knowledge, reduce the levels of motivation to learn and continue with the studies, to avoid a high drop-out rate, and on the other hand, reduce the distance between the needs of the world of work and the abilities and skills of young people after completing their studies.
The Talita Cumi Foundation wishes to raise the possibility of having an entrepreneurial-oriented education based on emotional intelligence, cooperative work, experiential learning, creative problem solving, training participants to boost and strengthen the character of our future citizens .
The Foundation will make a state of the art of the current conditions of the population and their conditions, as well as evaluate the causes and symptoms of the situation of today's youth, what are their projections of life and what they expect in the short term future.
