Salamanca, Gto., June 23, 2016.- With support from the Foundation Fig Factor located in Chicago, US., one professor and nine students from the Department of Art and Business from the University of Guanajuato, participate in a workshop that gives the platforms of educational leadership, tutoring and experiences with great reach through a brotherhood context.
Dr. Judith Banda Guzmán, professor at Campus Irapuato-Salamanca, informed that the workshop Core III in Spanish, has the motivational focus and of business, since the foundation helps the young Latin women in United States to discover their leadership potential and become their best version.
The workshop was taught by the president of the Foundation Fig Factor, the business woman Jacqueline Camacho Ruíz and by the writer and social communicator Fermina Ponce, a Colombian resident in the US, who shared the program that has four stages: activate, receive, grow and share.
The board of the foundation, whose motto is "Untying the incredible future of Latin leaders" offered 12 scholarships for university women, after the visit of the president to the Division of Engineering at UG, on March this year.
Professor Banda Guzmán and her students, traveled from June 11 to 14 to take the intensive course, in which, she said "we learned the importance to create awareness and understand the vulnerability as a resource of strength and leadership, through the Kintsugi process, parting from repairing the broken, as well as the importance of defining our mission in life."
This accompaniment to the young women is with a mentor, since the learning through others is invaluable, allows gaining focus, obtain inspiration and create a life full of resources and possibilities. Eventually, they'll be capable of transferring their knowledge.
It is important to mention that Jacqueline Camacho and Fermina Ponce are part of the movement called "Today's inspired Latina", which also inspired a book in which Fermina has been invited to participate in the volume II, whose purpose is to tell the story of different Hispanic women, the challenges they faced as immigrants, how they overcome and how, despite everything, have achieved their dreams.
