GREAT IDEAS TO THINK ABOUT…BY EDITH NIÑO

ONG – Non-Profit Organization

Focus on young people that couldn’t achieved some academic levels because of personal matters: from high school to major degree programs.

Age: from 20 to 40 years old.

The organization’s purpose is to help them start a new life’s stage by preparing themselves academically, so growing up personally, but always contributing to the same cause.

ONG has to get them always active and engaged.

Live experiences, family meetings (for them to feel supported and motivated), constant couching and mentoring from other people, they will be provided with tools, they have to read, and actually demonstrate advances by speaking in public.

TED Ideas worth spreading simulation

Ordinary people from the ONG will pick a topic of interest, prepare a great presentation and share it with everyone interested.

Advantages: them feeling worthy and proud of themselves, society contribution with different perspectives and points of view (allow people to talk aloud to be listened by important people rewarding them someway), the growing of a new project.

Need: great preparation, constant effort, techniques, strategies.
