The educational challenge we face with the new generations is to promote the development of competencies and skills so that people become autonomous and can have a full life, in which their rights are recognized. To this end, the linking of different disciplines and the development of new methodologies are vital.
Technology and sport are two pillars to learn to know, learn to be, learn to do, and learn to live in a community.
Both integrated dimensions allow the personal development of adolescents from cognitive, emotional, social, and ethical aspects. To this end, Sportic makes important pedagogical contributions to the educational systems and community spaces of Argentina, Colombia, and Ecuador. Its methodology articulates technological, sports, and socio-emotional skills.
Sportic aims to train adolescents, between 12 and 18 years old, in socio-emotional skills based on sport and technology, within the framework of Olympic values, and with a focus on gender and rights.
The program designed an innovative pedagogical plot that combines sports practices as a means for comprehensive human development -body, mind, emotions-, productions with digital citizenship content and computational thinking -including programming and robotics-, according to each selected Olympic value and socio-emotional skill.
In Argentina, the proposal covers 2,500 adolescents between 12 and 14 years of age in the last year of the primary level of state-run schools in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires and community centers.
In Colombia, it comprises 2,500 adolescents in the city of Medellin between the ages of 14 and 15 who attend 8th and 9th grade in secondary technical education schools, in the city of Quibdó between the ages of 13 and 15 who attend the 8th grade in high school and adolescents from 12 to 18 years old, -schooled or not-, in community spaces.
In Ecuador, it reaches 2,500 adolescents from the cities of Chone, Pizoacá, and Calceta in the province of Manabí, and the city of Quito, between the ages of 15 and 16 in their 1st and 2nd year of high school, and between 12 and 18 years in community spaces.
In all cities, the SPORTIC Program is in constant dialogue with the local Ministries of Education and the National Olympic Committees.
