"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.
