México, Adelante

February 19, 2011 0 Comments
What are the main challenges in Mexico for our generation?
What is our role in fostering change? What are our proposals?
 
Students from different universities in the Boston/Cambridge are focusing on developing responses to the challenges that Mexico is facing. We consider that the next couple of years are crucial for the success (or failure) of our country.
 
In response to this uneasiness, México, Adelante is collaborative initiative led by HUMAs, Mexican students from Harvard, Tufts, MIT, and Babson, and Harvard Club de México. Through discussion spaces and student led projects, we seek to maximize our positive impact in Mexico, now and in the future. Our goal is to construct creative and inclusive solutions to address our nation’s biggest challenges.
 
México, Adelante will be a series of events during 2011 including talks, workshops and round tables sometimes with guest speakers from our country, some others with students from the different schools. The main idea of these events is to discuss our challenges, but most important to discuss our role and proposals to address them.
 
We will continue posting information about these events in this website. Stay tuned.
 
The first series of events starts next week! Join us!
