  • Presentación De Powerpoint
    PRESENTACIÓN Las ciudades se han hecho complejas, y los gobiernos locales, por su proximidad, deben dar respuestas integrales a problemas de vivienda, de trabajo, de salud, etc. En la gran mayoría de las ciudades mexicanas y latinoamericanas a estos problemas se suman otros, como las desigualdades sociales, económicas y de oportunidades entre diferentes sectores de la población. La ciudad transmite y educa en valores a través de su planificación urbana, la programación cultural, los eventos deportivos que se organizan; las cuestiones ambientales y de salud; las económicas y presupuestarias; las que se refieren a la movilidad y a la seguridad, entre otras. Tomar consciencia, desarrollar y evaluar el impacto educativo de las acciones del gobierno y de las políticas públicas, buscando una mayor transversalidad de acción, transparencia y proximidad a la ciudadanía, así como buscar vías para articular y movilizar a los diferentes agentes educadores presentes en la ciudad, es el compromiso que adquieren los gobiernos locales firmantes de la Carta de Ciudades Educadoras. Durante los días 23 y 24 de abril de 2015 la ciudad de Toluca, México, será la sede del III ENCUENTRO DE CIUDADES EDUCADORAS DE MÉXICO, CENTROAMÉRICA Y EL CARIBE. OBJETIVOS DEL ENCUENTRO 1.
