Within the framework of the “Aprender a Emprender” program, students from different educational institutions in Concordia actively participated in the Social Economy Fair, a space that promotes exchange, local production, and the values of the social and solidarity economy.
During the day, the students presented their own ventures, shared experiences with other exhibitors, and had the opportunity to offer their products to the public. This participation allowed them to put into practice the knowledge acquired in the classroom, strengthening their entrepreneurial skills and their commitment to a fairer and more participatory economy.
The “Aprender a Emprender” program aims to foster an entrepreneurial culture among young people, providing them with tools for the development of sustainable and inclusive productive projects. The fair thus consolidated itself as a space for learning and direct connection with the community.
PROJECTS
Among the projects presented, students from E.S.J.A. No. 29 “Prof. Erich Poenitz” showed their commitment to healthy eating through Ensaladas Vida Sana, a proposal of fresh and natural meals designed for daily consumption. Also highlighted were Kéfir Las Tres Vidas, dedicated to the artisanal production of probiotic drinks, and Dakota Salsas Gourmet, a venture that combines homemade flavors and culinary creativity.
For their part, students from Secondary School No. 27 “Liotta” offered products made with care and dedication, such as Planificados —an initiative focused on the organization and presentation of artisanal products— and Cosas Ricas, where the young people make cornstarch alfajores that were a true success among visitors.
The students expressed their satisfaction for having participated in the fair. “It was a very nice experience because we learned how to show what we do and talk to people about our products. It gave us more confidence to continue with our projects,” commented one of the students. Another participant highlighted that “we realized that entrepreneurship is not just about selling, but also about working as a team and thinking about how to improve every day.”
Andrea Popelka, in charge of the project on behalf of the Undersecretariat of Development and Entrepreneurship, pointed out that “it is very important that young people can live these experiences, where learning is combined with the real practice of entrepreneurship. These spaces allow each student to discover their potential, value collective work, and understand the importance of generating projects with social impact.”
For his part, the Director of Cooperativism and Associativism, Ariel Gorostegui, stressed that “the Social Economy Fair is an example of how education and production can be articulated to build a more solidary society. From the Municipality, we continue to support these initiatives that promote participation, organization, and local development.”
The experience left a positive mark on the young participants, who demonstrated enthusiasm, creativity, and commitment to local development and the values of the social economy.
