Ideaton Transforming Guatemala
The "Ideaton Transforming Guatemala" was implemented by UNICEF in the framework of the "Innovation Week". Through discussion and cooperation in teams of 5 people, this initiative focused on the search for ideas and solutions to protect girls and boys against violence in the school environment. Teachers, professionals, business representatives, and university students, among many other actors, participated in the Ideaton. All citizens had the opportunity to register online to participate in this initiative. The winners of the Ideaton received funds to implement their idea, and their strategies were shared with local authorities. According to the program, the winning solutions were to be implemented in April 2020.
