Educating character is not something new. The formation of values, virtues, and socio-emotional skills has historically been at the heart of school education. However, in recent decades, this topic has gained more prominence thanks to the evidence provided by economics and positive psychology regarding the impact of these types of skills on people's lives. Additionally, today we know the results of educational programs aimed at developing character and the practices that have proven effective. The Soy Astoreca program has incorporated these learnings and integrated them into its design and implementation.

Together with Fundación Astoreca and KommPakt Chile, we were winners of the Collective Impact Fund, an initiative driven by Fundación Reimagina and supported by BHP Foundation.

Thanks to the Collective Impact Fund, the Soy+ Astoreca Program is being launched for the first time in the Aysén region, in our three schools in Puerto Guadal, Puerto Bertrand, and Mallín Grande, to develop positive habits in our students that will help them better face life and contribute to society.
