CONICYT y la Subsecretaría de Educación Parvularia darán a conocer detalles de esta iniciativa que ya se está implementando en diez regiones del país. Se incluye capacitación para educadores y un kit de materiales para la realización de 30 actividades en la sala de clases.
Aprender en qué consiste el fenómeno de la refracción de la luz puede ser bastante complejo, sobre todo para niños que aún están en la educación parvularia. Pero ¿qué pasa si se les enseña con una lupa y globos, proyectando en ellos la luz del sol para ver qué pasa? ¿Se revientan o no? ¿Hay diferencia entre apuntar la luz a uno blanco o de otros colores?
Esta es una de las experiencias diseñadas para que los niños y niñas pequeñas aprendan ciencia por medio de la experimentación, una estrategia implementada por CONICYT a través de su Programa Explora, en conjunto con la Subsecretaría de Educación Parvularia. La iniciativa, denominada Tus Competencias en Ciencias (TCC), contempla la realización de 30 actividades de aprendizaje, para ser realizadas por las educadoras de párvulos en la sala de clases, acompañadas por un kit de materiales.
Aunque TCC comenzó a ser ejecutado en educación básica y media en 2007, gracias a la articulación con la recientemente creada Subsecretaría de Párvulos, la iniciativa pudo ahora ser adaptada para su aplicación en educación parvularia, siendo alineada con el curriculum de estudios para su implementación, de manera progresiva, en salas de clases de todo el país.
Este año, en el marco de este relanzamiento, los 12 Proyectos Asociativos Regionales de Explora de CONICYT (PAR) ejecutaron talleres TCC, capacitando cada uno a 215 docentes de Educación Párvulos. Permitirá involucrar, aproximadamente, a 3.225 pequeños.
Christian Nicolai, director Ejecutivo de CONICYT, destaca que esta iniciativa llega en un “momento histórico, tanto para el Ministerio de Educación, por la puesta en marcha de la Nueva Educación Pública, como para CONICYT, que celebra su aniversario número 50”.
En efecto, TCC representa un apoyo para el proyecto de Reforma Educacional y mejora en la calidad de la educación que es impulsado por el gobierno de la Presidenta Michelle Bachelet, como lo demuestra la experiencia del Territorio de Anticipación de Barrancas (Pudahuel, Cerro Navia y Lo Prado), que será dada a conocer mañana.
Patricia Ponce, educadora de Párvulos del Colegio Madre Ana Eugenia, de Pudahuel, es uno de estos ejemplos. Realiza la actividad dos veces a la semana y está sorprendida con la actitud que han tenido, especialmente, las alumnas que más les cuesta poner atención. “Por primera vez las veo motivadas en participar de la clase. Se concentran más y hacen preguntas. Los papás también, piden más antecedentes para trabajar los contenidos con sus hijas, en la casa”, explica.
Mario Hamuy, presidente del Consejo de CONICYT, destaca que Tus Competencias en Ciencias, “fortalece el trabajo de las educadoras y educadores con actividades entretenidas de ciencia, los párvulos podrán tener un rol más protagónico en su proceso de aprendizaje, fomentando desde la infancia temprana actitudes como la exploración y la resolución de problemas”, afirma.

A training of trainers of a South Sudan’s soon-to-be unified army concluded today, 4 October, with a graduation ceremony at the Military Training Centre in Luri near Juba.
The event marks a significant step forward for the implementation of the country’s revitalized peace agreement, signed in September last year.
Lieutenant General Shailesh Tinaikar, Force Commander of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan, described the project of training the nation’s unified forces as one with “tremendous implications for national integrity and security”. He called the graduating instructors “pioneers” with a “huge responsibility” to carry after having received just ten days of training.
“Whatever you do, however you act, is going to affect the soldiers who you train, so I implore you to be conscious of your actions, because you set the trend of the forces of South Sudan,” the Force Commander said.
Lieutenant General Tinaikar also stressed the importance of looking forward rather than backward.
“You have to forget your past, from where you come and your past affiliations, to work together for your young nation, for the state of South Sudan,” he said, reiterating his faith in the diligence and capacity of the instructors to train the unified forces properly.
A lack of qualified trainers has been slowing down the capacity building of units of the united armed forces in 35 cantonment sites across the country, making the readiness of instructors such a vital sign of progress.
To enable the establishment of a Transitional Government of National Unity on 12 November, the few hundred graduates will need to capacitate some 83,000 soldiers, the troops being merged from the South Sudan People’s Defence Forces and the Sudan People’s Liberation Army in Opposition.

We are very pleased to report the successful implementation of a running water project for Drokri (Herijiao) Community (Ninxiu (Nyin phyug) Township Town, Zeku (Rtse khog) County Town, Huangnan (Rma lho) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province).
A contribution of 129,800RMB from the Rotary Club of Beijing and 15,065RMB from the Rotary Club of Muenchen Blutenburg, plus a local contribution of 86,280RMB, ensured clean water to 240 Tibetan residents (37 households).
Before the project, Drokri Community’s biggest problem was a lack of water. Locals had to travel 5 to 9 kilometers (6 to 7 hours) to water livestock and fetch drinking water. Fetching water was culturally assigned to women who carried 25 kg of water in plastic containers on a daily basis. Donkeys, motorcycles, old tires, and tractors were also used to haul water. Due to lack of adequate water, villagers rarely washed clothes and showered. Consequently, locals were vulnerable to illnesses caused by poor personal hygiene.
This project brought water to both local people and livestock and has solved environmental degradation problems in the community. Livestock were driven once every two days to the distant water source. Much grass was damaged and could not feed the livestock that lived on it. This resulted in villagers needing to buy grass to feed livestock, which reduced their annual income. Now, with multiple water taps in the community, livestock no longer travel far across grassland to a single water source.
Furthermore, conflict was common between neighbor families and communities due to sharing the water source between households. Locals easily became involved in serious fighting. However, this issue no longer exists as multiple water taps are available adjacent to local households.
During project implementation, the local water bureau provided support and facilitated challenges of project designs. Volunteers from the Rotary Club of Beijing, especially Regula Hwangma and Robert Xing, also contributed helpful insights in project design. Local community contributed both labor and cash for trench digging and engaged the project throughout implementation. Many local men also learned basic water maintenance skills such as connecting pipes and repair.
Finally, we sincerely thank you for bringing this great gift to us.

November 18, 2010 - "Roles for Third Parties in Improving Implementation of EPA's and OSHA's Regulations on the Management of Low-Probability, High-Consequence Process Safety Risks" - Penn Program on Regulation, in conjunction with the Wharton Risk Management Center, hosted a conference regarding the usage of third party auditors in the enforcement of regulatory safety measures in high risk industries. Industries which experts call "Low-Probability, High-Consequence," such as nuclear reactors, oil refineries, or chemical processing plants, are specifically hoped to be improved by third party inspections safety. The conference brought together numerous participants from a variety of fields, including from government, industry, insurance, academia, and non-profit sectors. The conference consisted of a day-long discussion spread over three separate panels. Over the course of the conference, participants stressed the importance of implementing a third party system to effectively and thoroughly audit industry despite lack of adequate funds and resources. Other potential scenarios offered for enacting effective third party auditing included making sure that these third party auditors were completely independent from the industries they would be inspecting so as to eliminate bias or a conflict of interest. Another issue to consider is the question of whose authority would the third party auditors be under and what kind of enforcement power would they have to enforce industry change. One of the panel discussions brought up the potential linkage of third party audits with insurance companies so as to provide an incentive for industry to decrease safety risks in order to pay lower insurance premiums. Workshop participants included Isadore "Irv" Rosenthal, a Senior Research Fellow at the Wharton Risk Management and Decision Processes Center; Howard Kunreuther, James G. Dinan Professor of Business and Public Policy at Wharton and Co-Director of the Wharton Risk Center; Laurie Miller, Senior Director of Environment and Process Safety at the American Chemistry Council; Erwann O.

The Seguin Outdoor Learning Center began with the dreams and imagination of Irma Lewis, a physical education teacher with a strong background in outdoor education.
Ms. Lewis developed and taught an outdoor education course at Seguin High School and saw the positive impact of the program on her students. Ms. Lewis believed that such a program, devoted completely to outdoor education, would make a difference in the lives of the young and young at heart. Eight years later Irma's dream became a reality.
Beginning with an initial donation of 23 acres from local resident Carla Blumberg in 1995, the Seguin Outdoor Learning Center has grown to over 115 acres. With incredible support from the community, the school district, local businesses, public and private foundations, and a legion of volunteers, the SOLC has provided the citizens of south central Texas with a multitude of recreational and educational opportunities.
In its first two years of business, the Texas Outdoor Education Association recognized the impact that the SOLC was having on local children and students. The SOLC was named the Outstanding Outdoor Education Program in the State of Texas in 1997.
That legacy continues at the SOLC today with quality programs and a beautiful setting. Our facility is a jewel where the entire community can enjoy the outdoors. We know you will enjoy your visit here.

Um novo conceito de solução ambiental para o controle de erosões e de contenção de áreas degradadas foi implementado no município na terça-feira (21/5), com a execução do Projeto Trama Verde em uma área de talude, de aproximadamente dois mil metros quadrados, no Morro dos Cabritos, na Ressaca, onde, em 2020, ocorreram deslizamentos de terra e soterramentos de casas.
A área, considerada de risco, recebeu diversas intervenções cujo objetivo é proteger o solo e aumentar a vegetação. No local, técnicos da Defesa Civil e de outras secretarias trabalharam, por cerca de duas semanas, para formatar e concretizar o projeto, que servirá de modelo para outras localidades. Primeiro, foram feitas a roçada e a limpeza de todo o terreno pela equipe da Secretaria de Obras e Manutenção Urbana.
Em seguida, foram instaladas as chamadas “paliçadas” em pontos do talude onde há marcas de erosão. As paliçadas, cuja função é barrar detritos e reduzir os desgastes do solo, foram feitas com madeira provenientes de podas de árvores, isto é, a partir de material biodegradável disponibilizado pela Secretaria de Meio Ambiente e Sustentabilidade.
E, por fim, foi feita a revegetação da área por meio do plantio de mudas de diversas espécies, que vão desde árvores frutíferas a até medicinais. O plantio de 80 mudas ocorreu na terça-feira (21/5) e, no decorrer da semana, serão plantadas mais 120. Sementes também estão sendo depositadas no solo com o objetivo de fortalecê-lo.
As mudas e sementes adquiridas pelo projeto foram doadas pela Secretaria de Meio Ambiente e Sustentabilidade, pelo Centro Municipal de Agricultura Urbana e Familiar - CMAUF e por entidades que prezam pela utilização de técnicas voltadas à bioengenharia, como a empresa Deflor que destinou ao projeto materiais, como biomanta, adubo, sementes e mudas de Capim Vertiver.
“A ideia é apresentar ao município um novo método de estruturação do solo e controle de erosões, que não seja apenas o de impermeabilização do solo (concretagem). Nossa intenção é aumentar a cobertura vegetal e a biodiversidade, e não reduzi-las. Além disso, estamos doando este espaço para moradores do entorno para que eles cuidem e plantem o que desejarem. A ideia é recuperar, retomar a vida e o uso desta área”, explicou a subsecretária de Proteção e Defesa Civil, Ângela Gomes, que participou da elaboração e execução do projeto.
Moradores do entorno também se prontificaram a ajudar na ação. Eles não só plantaram como também aprovaram a iniciativa. Um deles, a dona de casa Patrícia Aparecida da Cunha disse que ficou feliz em saber que o local seria revegetado. “Foi gratificante ver esta ação acontecendo hoje. Espero que meus netos e bisnetos vejam esse espaço florido e cheio de frutos”, celebrou.
Para o aposentado João Ribeiro, que mora na região há 40 anos, a expectativa é por dias melhores. “Vivemos um sofrimento muito grande em 2020, muitas casas aqui ficaram soterradas. Agora, estamos vendo esse mutirão. Estamos satisfeitos, podem contar conosco para ajudar a conservar”, disse o morador.
A subsecretária de Governo de Contagem, Sônia Regina Oliveira, também participou do plantio. De acordo com ela, nem sempre a solução passará pelo concreto e cimento. “Há alternativas sustentáveis e possíveis economicamente. Mas, de fato, o que realmente resolve é a inteligência e a ação humana. De nada adiantará implementarmos tudo isso, se a comunidade não abraçar e ajudar a preservar. É necessário o envolvimento de todos para que possamos fazer deste local um modelo, um exemplo para as oito regiões da cidade”, destacou.
Assim como Sônia, a secretária de Defesa Social, Viviane França, acredita na importância da participação dos moradores para o sucesso de qualquer iniciativa. “Defesa civil e prevenção se faz com as pessoas, envolvendo todo o território. Somente dessa forma conseguiremos avançar e evitar a ocorrência de novos desastres ambientais”, salientou a secretária, agradecendo o empenho de todos na implementação do Projeto Trama Verde.
