As a part of the welcome activities for the second semester of 2024, a successful discussion “Care as a Promise and Training Principle” took place. This event was attended by first-semester students from various undergraduate programs. The discussion was moderated by Iván Camilo Aguilar, member of the Rector’s Working Group, with the participation of Piedad Ortega, UPN professor and popular education activist, Carolina Pérez, assistant director of University Welfare, and Laura Duplat, professor at the Faculty of Fine Arts.
In the Simón Rodríguez Multifunctional Auditorium, various topics were discussed related to educational challenges from different social and political contexts, which concern the reality of teachers who are educating today’s generations. It is important to emphasize that the meeting focused on understanding the concept of care as a task in which everyone plays a role, recognizing its relevance in every community.
Carolina Pérez, one of the panelists, mentioned, “Addressing care on the welcome agenda and discussing dynamic situations and realities that intersect with university life is crucial because it gives the issue a place on the university’s social agenda.”
The aim was to discuss and reflect on problematic situations affecting individuals, including those that cause discomfort in private and collective settings.

In fact, it was an opportunity for all those involved in university life to talk about a common agenda, not only from an institutional point of view, but also from the dynamics of the students and groups themselves, based on a sense of responsibility.
