    Talk-discussion. Young people: how to motivate them and activate their talents

    Last Monday, December 9th, a talk-discussion led by Juan Ferrer (expert in change management) took place in classroom C.1.5 of Module C of the FEET as part of the activities scheduled for Mentors who work in the FEET Mentor Program.

    Title of the talk-discussion:

    Young people: how to motivate them and activate their talents

    Summary:

    Certain factors have led to the situation of demotivation and abandonment that we are experiencing in the academic and business part of the young generations. It is necessary to know them in order to know where to act. This talk-discussion seeks to understand the causes, define the elements that motivate every human being, and see where we should act to inspire, involve and involve young talent in the development and growth of their personal and professional lives.

    Here are some moments of the talk-discussion.

    Guillermo González, a business administration student, is planning a company that transforms leftovers from the banana sector into value-added products such as compost, bioplastics, paper or cosmetics.

    Collect, process and transform organic waste derived from banana plantations – pseudostems, leaves, and remains of unsold fruit – into value-added products, such as compost, bioplastics, paper or even raw materials for the construction or cosmetics industry. This is the objective of the Green Banana Ecosolutions business project, developed by Guillermo González González, a final-year student of the Business Administration and Management (ADE) degree at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, who has been one of the two winners, in the circular economy category, of the ULPGC’s Impulsa Talento 2024 Awards, an initiative promoted by the Vice-Rectorate for Students, Alumni and Employability with the sponsorship of the DISA Foundation and Banco Santander and the collaboration of the Canary Islands Maritime Cluster, which promotes innovation combined with sustainability among ULPGC students by promoting entrepreneurial initiatives and ideas related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
