The University of Celaya, in the framework of its 35th anniversary, presents the 1st. edition of the call " We Mean: a space for what you want to express" which adds to the various activities of student life promoted by the institutional program. Leading womena platform that promotes talent and encourages the development of women's potential.
The "We Mean" call aims to open a space for the artistic and creative expression of all students who make up the Uni community, regardless of gender, through which they can express their own perspective of women as fundamental pillars in all social spheres, as well as the impact of their work on the growth and progress of the world .
In this first call, the participants expressed themselves through essays and posters. More than 150 young people participated in the initiative and the works will be published in various media to disseminate them.
Thank you very much and congratulations to the students for their proactivity and proposal.
"Being a STEM mentor is an excellent opportunity to participate in changing the mindset towards the recognition of women in our society."
The University of Celaya's commitment to the Celaya community has outlined key lines of action for its institutional plans and projects, providing opportunities for those who wish to develop their skills, enhance their talent and achieve their goals.
The "STEM Girls Can Do" program offers education to girls in 5th and 6th grade of elementary school in public institutions in Celaya to strengthen their skills in science, technology, engineering and mathematics with the objective of developing their capacity for creative problem solving, as well as emotional management and logical mathematical thinking, integrating information and communication technologies to their learning process. This program has been in place at Uni since 2019 and has had very good results due to the significant impact on the lives of both girls and participating mentors. To learn more about this program, watch this video.
During the January-June 2022 semester, biweekly sessions with "STEM Girls" are scheduled on Saturdays from 10:00 to 12:00 h; recently a rally was organized by students of Industrial Engineering and Mechatronics, in which they challenged the knowledge of girls through activities such as: multiplication bingo, robot programming, roulette prize or question, etc ... in an atmosphere of healthy coexistence and a lot of fun.
"I consider that the mentors in charge of the STEM girls are people who guide the participants in an assertive way, motivating the girls to get actively involved in each of the activities; ... as mentors we have an excellent opportunity to generate interest in the girls in areas in which engineering has a great involvement; a change of culture is being generated towards the acceptance and introduction of women to the area of technology and engineering because we can contribute great things and perform very efficiently" expresses Kathy Vera, STEM mentor.
If you want to live this experience, join the group of mentors of the "STEM Girls" program, contacting Mtra. Rosalinda Cerda (rlces@udec.edu.mx) and become an agent of the change you want for the world.

The Konrad Adenauer Foundation Mexico, Polilat, INE, USEM and CEPOS present the results of the Mexico Democratic Development Index 2021 (IDD-Mex 2021).
Guanajuato is one of the entities that lost the most value with respect to 2020, going from 5,031 points to 2,814; that is, a decrease of more than 2,000 points.
It is ranked 25th in the national ranking.
It obtained the worst score in its series in the IDD-Mex, as a result of declines in all dimensions.
Only in the Economic Democracy Dimension does it exceed the national average.
Celaya, Gto. (Thursday, March 10, 2022) - The Democratic Development Index of Mexico (IDD-Mex) is an index created to analyze strengths and weaknesses in the development of Mexican democracy, which allows political, social and economic leaders to have useful diagnostic elements to design specific policies that help achieve greater development in the country's states.
To disseminate the 11th edition of the IDD-Mex, the "Democracy Tour: Challenges and Evaluations of Democracy in Mexico" was held at the University of Celaya to present the results that the state of Guanajuato obtained in 2021 in the four dimensions of the IDD-Mex: Democracy of citizens, Democracy of institutions, Social Democracy and Economic Democracy.
The presentation of the IDD-Mex publication had a hybrid format so that the remote audience had the opportunity to follow the live broadcast from the Facebook page of both the Konrad Adenauer Foundation (https://fb.watch/bHcvvUboF2/), as well as the University of Celaya (https://fb.watch/bHcpof_jgm/).
The IDD-Mex report, prepared with official data from the states and with the perception that citizens have of the climate of rights and freedoms that characterize democracy in their communities, cannot but reflect the impact that this "partial halt to life" has on the system of social, political and economic relations in democracy; as well as on the climate of rights and freedoms of individuals and families; on the functioning of institutions that provide basic services for social and labor dynamics; on the investment climate; on the productive system, among others.
In the case of Guanajuato, as a consequence of the setback, it changes its development rating from medium to minimum, dropping more than 2,000 points in its overall rating.
After four years of decline, it reaches its worst record in terms of Citizens' Democracy and although it has never deserved extreme negative evaluations, the trend of the curve and the latest results set off an alarm signal, which should provoke a reaction on the part of the state leadership to elaborate and implement better strategies for building citizenship and respect for rights and freedoms.Democracy of Institutions suffers a strong setback, qualifying with minimum development, while social democracy remains at low development levels and economic democracy shows a rebound, qualifying with medium development this year.
This report is a wake-up call for the country's political, social and economic elites, since many of the opportunities for improvement identified here in each state can constitute a roadmap, not only for recovery, but also for initiating a sustained path of development for each community.
The IDD-Mex 2021 highlights Mexico's contrasts from an academic perspective, but it is also an appropriate instrument for political analysis, showing strengths and weaknesses, constituting an adequate tool for political, social and economic leaders to use as an objective diagnosis, as well as to outline and implement policies that allow for progress in human development and social and economic equity.
