"Te Toca!" continues appealing to
the social commitment of young
people
In 2014 the Te Toca! initiative continued
with its commitment to bringing young
people closer to certain social realities,
promoting their awareness and their
responsible behaviour. The initiative is
aimed at young people aged between 12
and 17, who are encouraged to submit a
solution to a specific problem based on
their own proposals or through requests
to the adult world.
In 2014, 174 participants submitted their
proposals for the challenge 'How can
education be improved?', with the over-
all quality being higher than in previous
years.
A jury composed of an experienced
group of experts selected the best en-
tries, which were awarded technologi-
cal prizes and donations of 500 euros
as seed capital to make the submitted
ideas a reality.
Within the framework of the initiative, a
meeting was organised between young
people, education advisers and chair-
men of school boards from different au-
tonomous communities at the Congress
of Deputies, in order to reflect on the
world of education and incorporate the
students' demands into future decisions
about the sector.
The Te Toca! micro-site reached 16,476 visits in 2014. Its presence on the social networks also increased,
with more than 1,144 fans on Facebook and 3,200 followers on Twitter.
