MAP AND COUNTRY INFORMATION V. APPENDICES Return to Table of Contents Dear Students: Greetings from the Cuernavaca staff of the Center for Global Education and Experience (CGEE) at Augsburg College-Mexico! We are excited that you have decided to come to Mexico by Fri., January 20, 2017 to participate in our Spring 2017 semes- ter program. We trust that it will be an enriching and exciting experience for all of us. CGEE’s educational philosophy em- phasizes holistic education for personal and social transformation. Hence, our approach is both experiential and rigorously academic. We try to create many opportunities for you to meet with Mexicans who represent different viewpoints and sec- tors of society. We also encourage you to sharpen your critical thinking skills, analyze your experiences, reflect upon your emotional reactions, and contemplate ways to act upon and apply what you have learned. We urge you to carefully read this program manual, as it will undoubtedly answer many of the questions that you have about the program, including questions about course registration, books to buy, what to pack and your semester-long schedule. Please bring it with you to Cuernavaca, as we will refer to it during the orienta- tion sessions and throughout the semester. The manual also includes information about options for taking additional Spanish classes in January, as well as in the summer (at an additional cost). Please look at the Janu- ary and summer options before purchasing your plane ticket so that you can take those dates into account, should you so choose. We will be sending an email and a copy of this manual to your parents before the program starts. The purpose of that letter is to introduce Augsburg’s CGEE, describe what the semester program is like, and extend an invitation for them to visit Cuernavaca. During your semester in Mexico, there will be two semester programs taking place at the same time. Therefore, you will share housing and some program activities with the students participating in the other program. Please note that you will be receiving a roommate information form via email to complete and return prior to your arri- val. We will use this form to assign you to a room in one of our two program houses and will inform you upon your arrival in Cuernavaca. You will also be receiving other forms via email and/or online. Please complete all of them as quickly as possible and return them by their due dates. Be sure to complete your registration information (see the “Course Selection” questionnaire in your Global Gate- way) no later than December 1, 2016. Application materials for Internships and Fieldwork may also be found in your Global Gateway. Students who are applying for internships, or fieldwork must complete the application questionnaire no later than December 1, and send a copy of your resume to Margaret Anderson at ander- [email protected] with copies to [email protected] and morganl@augsburg. “Migration, Globalization, and the Environment” students who would like to register for an Independent Study should contact Margaret Anderson at [email protected] for an application form.

When purchasing your plane ticket to Mexico City, please make arrangements to arrive by 3:00 pm on Friday, January 20. As soon as you have your flight information, please send your arrival Information to the Interna- tional Resident Assistant/Fellow at [email protected] so she can coordinate group pick-up times at the airports. Again, we are delighted that you will be joining us this spring. We look forward to meeting you.

  • Chapter 2 Promoting Inclusive Growth in Morelos
    2. PROMOTING INCLUSIVE GROWTH IN MORELOS – 95 Chapter 2 Promoting inclusive growth in Morelos This chapter provides an overview of the economic and social policies in the state of Morelos that are most related to human capital issues including an assessment of education, labour market training and innovation policy priorities in the region. Education and training policies should be pursued to improve social cohesion and productivity in the state. They should seek to attain inclusive growth by increasing student education performances and improving the alignment of skills supply with skills demand. Investing in innovation is also critical to regional competitiveness. Morelos should better mobilise its innovation infrastructure for knowledge diffusion and exploitation. A final section is dedicated to the newly-created Council for Human Capital, a regional governance body aiming to address the interconnectedness of such policy challenges and promote an integrated vision of regional development. Each policy domain is evaluated to support the state government of Morelos into building on opportunities and enhance the region’s economic development, learning from OECD best practices and policy recommendations. OECD TERRITORIAL REVIEWS: MORELOS, MEXICO © OECD 2017 96 – 2. PROMOTING INCLUSIVE GROWTH IN MORELOS 2.1 Introduction The current priority of the state of Morelos is to boost regional economic development and inclusive growth through a strong investment in human capital. A skilled human capital is at the essence of regional development and competitiveness. A region that benefits from a high-skilled workforce able to learn, create knowledge and rapidly adapt to changing labour demands and technologies will be able to use those skills to drive innovation and achieve a sustainable form of economic growth.

  • Fostering an Integrated Approach to Territorial Development in Morelos – 165
    3. FOSTERING AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO TERRITORIAL DEVELOPMENT IN MORELOS – 165 Chapter 3 Fostering an integrated approach to territorial development in Morelos This chapter examines the territorial development dimension of the state of Morelos. It provides a glance into urban policies, including spatial planning, mobility and environment, followed by rural policies, accessibility and connectivity and finally tourism and natural amenities. Each policy domain is evaluated in order to support the state government of Morelos in building on its key strengths and areas of opportunity in order to enhance the region’s economic development and well-being. This assessment draws on examples and best practices from across the OECD. OECD TERRITORIAL REVIEWS: MORELOS, MEXICO © OECD 2017 166 – 3. FOSTERING AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO TERRITORIAL DEVELOPMENT IN MORELOS 3.1 Introduction Chapter 2 focused on the importance of adopting a holistic approach to human capital and innovation to lift productivity growth in the region over the medium and long term, but also to attain inclusive growth. The recently-created Council for Human Capital of the State of Morelos has a central role to play towards the achievement of those goals. However, equally important is to ensure the region is sustainable in its development path, taking into account the environmental dimension while benefiting from its growth potential. In this respect, urban and regional policies need to be well designed and integrated. Furthermore, Morelos registers important pockets of poverty that are concentrated in several municipalities, giving rise to unequal access to services and limited economic opportunities. Infrastructure and rural policies can help improve the situation of local communities by enhancing connectivity to markets, increasing the productivity of the primary sector and generating opportunities in the non-farming sector.

  • February 2016 This Newsletter Has Two Distinct Parts, First
    Juntos Newsletter – February 2016 This newsletter has two distinct parts, first the lightning visits of board members Xin Mei Liu and Sophie Boeckh, and second, the story of one student, her son and the role Nissan plays in Cuernavaca. Both Xin and Sophie were here for a very short time, little over a week, and are a testament of how much can be accomplished in a short period of time. Both stayed at Amor para compartir for a few days and made valuable contributions. They made arrangements for the soccer programme to be expanded, including both the boys and the girls, organized transport for two training sessions and one game per week. With their help every game will now have a minimum of ten players and some of the younger girls will be included. In addition, Sophie and Xin produced a spread sheet with the name of every girl at Amor para compartir with age and level of education plus notes on the ones that have potential to move to the next educational level. This is a very useful tool for JUNTOS as we want to encourage and help financially all the girls who are able to go to high school. Finally, they met with our JUNTOS teachers, reviewed the computer projects and offered excellent suggestions. They demonstrated how they work in the cloud creating and sharing information among their classmates and teachers using programs provided without charge by GOOGLE. These are excellent tools and our team will start to teach them in our learning centres. And as we say in Quebec, ¨la cerise sur le gâteau¨, they will be fundraising to pay for the entire soccer programme.
