A brief description of the institution’s formal community partnership to advance sustainability:
"Lazos" program has accompanied, from its different lines, the commune 2 "Santa Cruz" specifically the neighborhood "Villa del Socorro". Commune 2 "Santa Cruz" has been characterized as a territory affected by multiple problems, translated into conditions of poverty and extreme poverty, social and economic exclusion.
The CES University, from its social management strategies, directly impacts 7 SDGs: End of Poverty (1), goals 1.3, 1.4, 1.5; Health and well-being (3), goals 3.4, 3.5, 3.7, 3.d; Quality education (4), goals 4.3, 4.4, 4.7, 4.a, 4.b and 4.c; Gender equality (5), targets 5.1, 5.2, 5.4, 5.6; Reduction of inequalities (10) goals 10.2, peace, justice and strong institutions (16), goals 16.1, 16.2, 16.3 and Partnerships (17), goals 17.16 and 17.17.
The "Lazos" program links the work between academia with the public-private sector, generating value in vulnerable communities in the department of Antioquia, Colombia.
Currently, we work in alliance with the Health Secretariat of the city mayor's office and with private companies to develop specific activities (for example, in volunteer activities, we support external organizations that require volunteers for their work).
For CES University, social management is the channel to positively impact society, providing the organization's own knowledge to promote socio-economic transformation, generate inclusion and improve the quality of life of the beneficiaries of the programs through care to your needs and problems.
Social management seeks to strengthen the social dimension, as a fundamental and integral part of sustainability, in addition to the articulation of strategies, programs and projects so that there is an institutional approach, strengthening management from the generation of shared value and the development of capacities, promoting a dialogue between various stakeholders and interest groups.
