2.- ENTREGA DE DIPLOMAS (min.37.02)
We meet in an hour of change and challenge, in a decade of hope and fear, in an age of both, knowledge and ignorance. The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds.
00:00:19
Newton explored the meaning of gravity.
00:00:35
Last month, electric lights, telephones, automobiles, and airplanes became available.
00:00:38
Only last week did we develop penicillin, television, and nuclear power.
00:00:45
And now, if America's new spacecraft succeeds in reaching Venus,
00:00:51
we will have literally reached the stars before midnight tonight.
00:00:56
If this capsule history of our progress teaches us anything, it is that man, in his quest
00:01:01
for knowledge and progress, is the terminate and cannot be determined.
00:01:09
The exploration of the space will go ahead, whether we join in it or not, and it's one
00:01:15
of the great adventures of all time.
00:01:22
no nation which expects to be the leader of other nations can expect to stay behind the rest for
00:01:26
space. There is no strife, no prejudice, no national conflict in outer space as yet. Its
00:01:33
hazards are hostile to us all. Its conquest deserves the best of all mankind, and its
00:01:41
opportunity for peaceful cooperation may never come again. But why some say the moon?
00:01:48
Why choose this as our goal?
00:01:56
We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things,
00:01:59
not because they are easy, but because they are hard.
00:02:05
Because that goal will serve to measure and organize the best of our energies and skills.
00:02:09
Because that challenge is one we are willing to accept,
00:02:15
one we are unwilling to postpone,
00:02:18
and one which we intend to win, and the others too.
00:02:20
Thank you.
00:02:24
I Am Prepared to Die by Nelson Mandela
00:02:26
Africans want to be paid a living wage.
00:02:33
Africans want to perform work which they are capable of doing
00:02:37
and not work which the government declares them to be capable of.
00:02:41
Africans want to be part of the general population
00:02:46
and not confined to living in their own ghettos.
00:02:49
African men want to have their wives and children
00:02:54
to live with them where they work
00:02:57
and not to be forced into an unnatural existence in men's hostels.
00:02:59
African women want to live with their menfolk
00:03:04
and not be left permanently widowed in their reserves.
00:03:07
Africans want to just stay in the whole of South Africa.
00:03:12
They want security and a stake in society.
00:03:17
Above all, we want equal political rights
00:03:21
because without them, our disabilities,
00:03:25
will be permanent.
00:03:28
I know this sounds revolutionary
00:03:31
to the whites in this country
00:03:32
because the majority of voters
00:03:35
will be Africans.
00:03:37
This makes the white men
00:03:40
fear democracy.
00:03:42
But this fear cannot be allowed
00:03:46
to stand in the way
00:03:48
of the only solution
00:03:49
which will guarantee racial harmony
00:03:51
and freedom for all.
00:03:53
I have a serious idea of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together
00:03:55
in harmony and with equal opportunities.
00:04:06
It is an idea for which I hope to live for and to achieve, but if needs be, it is an
00:04:10
idea for which I am prepared to die.
00:04:18
Oh captain, my captain, by war with men, oh captain, my captain, our fearful trip is done, the ship has watered every rock, the prize we sought is won, the port is near, the bells are here, people all exulting, wild fall wise, the steady kill, the vassal women daring,
00:04:29
But, oh, heart, heart, heart, oh, the bleeding drops of red,
00:04:55
where on the deck my captain lies, fallen, cold, undead.
00:05:02
Oh, captain, my captain, rise up, I hear the bells.
00:05:08
Rise up, for you the flag is flung, for you the bugle trills,
00:05:14
for you the caissons riven with, for you the shores are crowding,
00:05:18
For you they call, the swinging mask, their eager face turning.
00:05:22
Here, captain, dear father, this arm is beneath your head.
00:05:28
It is some dream that on the deck you've fallen cold and dead.
00:05:33
My captain does not answer. His lips are pained and still.
00:05:39
My father does not feel my arm. He has no pulse, nor will.
00:05:44
The ship is anchored, safe and sound, its bodage closed and done.
00:05:49
From fearful trip, the victor ship comes in with object won.
00:05:55
Exult, oh shores, and ring, oh bells.
00:06:00
But I with mournful dread walk the deck, my captain lies.
00:06:04
Fallen, cold, and dead.
00:06:09
Education, education, and education by Tony Blair.
00:06:17
These are the foundations of this new age of achievement and for all our people it can be made a reality.
00:06:21
There is only one lasting route to higher living standards, better wages and more secure jobs in today's world.
00:06:28
We will win by our brains and our skills or not at all.
00:06:35
There should be a spirit of enterprise and achievement in the shop floor, on the office's wall,
00:06:40
In the 16-year-old who starts as an office girl
00:06:46
with the realistic chance of ending up as an office manager.
00:06:49
In the young graduate with the confidence to take initiatives.
00:06:52
In the secretary who takes time out to learn a new language
00:06:56
and comes back to search for a new and better job.
00:07:00
These people have enterprise within them.
00:07:04
They have talent and potential within them.
00:07:07
Ask me my three main priorities of government
00:07:09
and I'll tell you education, education and education.
00:07:11
The first wonder of the world is the mind of a child. They say give me a blood
00:07:16
seven, I'll show you the man at 70. Well give me the education system that is
00:07:21
35th in the world today, I'll show you the economy that is 35th in the world
00:07:26
tomorrow. Achievement, aspiration fulfilled for all our people and the
00:07:31
kind of society we have. What kind of world is it where fathers who do not
00:07:36
work have sons who do not work? Will the young take to drugs and the debased culture of despair
00:07:41
because no job becomes a living school? It is a world in which some can succeed, but
00:07:48
I ask you, is it a world in which anyone can be proud? This is the moral question of our
00:07:55
times. If we are to build this new age of achievement, you and I and all of us together
00:08:01
must build a decent society to deliver it, a society in which every individual is valued,
00:08:07
every person given the chance to fulfil their potential, a society to which we contribute
00:08:13
and they contribute to us, a society based not on outdated prejudices but on the common
00:08:18
duty of humanity, our belief that we owe an obligation to each other to improve the life
00:08:24
of us all. A society of opportunity, a society of responsibility, a society which gives to
00:08:30
us because we give to that society.
00:08:37
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. Today I am here to show you this new revolutionary

What can you use it for? I'll tell you the answer.
00:12:17
Have you ever tried to be pretty without this comb? No, eh?
00:12:21
You also can throw it to someone if he's annoying you.
00:12:28
Also, look at the quality of this comb. It is made from the best materials of Central Asia.
00:12:33
Imagine the time spent in making this beautiful object.
00:12:40
A lot of time.
00:12:46
So, next time you use a comb, remember how useful it is.
00:12:48
And remember what I just told you. It has changed my life, and yours as well.
00:12:55
Bite it quickly. Thank you.
00:13:00
First of all, let me tell you what exactly media is.
00:13:02
The word media refers to different types of communication.
00:13:20
For example, television, radio, newspaper.
00:13:23
But the question is, who do you think is immune to the media?
00:13:28
I think nobody is, unless of course you live on a desert island
00:13:32
and do not communicate with the rest of the world.
00:13:36
But this is not our case.
00:13:39
How much do teenagers all over the world use the media today?
00:13:41
Or in other words, how much do we use the media each day?
00:13:45
Well, we watch TV, we use the computer, the internet, our mobile phones very often, and we can also read some magazines.
00:13:50
And I'm sure that on your way to school you listen to the radio in the car too.
00:13:58
So no, ladies and gentlemen, we are not immune to the media.
00:14:03
Does it influence us and young people's image?
00:14:07
Ah, yes it does.
00:14:10
Maybe you are wondering how? We depend on the media for daily life. We are constantly being entertained and informed. News just come in. We can connect to people from all over the world just at the click of a button. Isn't it wonderful?
00:14:12
Young people are involved in various forms of media every day.
00:14:28
The media influences their focus on thinking and gives them an idol to follow.
00:14:33
This is not always good, as many idols are not great examples.
00:14:38
It has brought many social and health problems to young people,
00:14:43
as they only worry about themselves, no matter what's going on around them.
00:14:47
Don't you think it's a serious problem?
00:14:52
So, in conclusion, what can we do?
00:14:54
In a country like Spain, a solution could be to convince the government to fight these social and health problems
00:14:56
and try to get these young people out into the streets and start socialising healthily again.
00:15:03
This is my opinion, but if we all try to get solutions together, young people will grow and be happier. Thank you.
00:15:10
Promoting Interaction
00:15:18
Nick is an Australian man born without arms or legs, despite his disabilities.
00:15:23
He enjoys sport, got a university degree and is now a famous speaker.
00:15:28
Although not as severe as Nick, according to the United Nations, 10% of the world population suffers from disabilities.
00:15:34
Consequently, we face the difficult task of integrating these people.
00:15:43
Our two solutions are about creating interaction.
00:15:48
The first solution came to us after imagining ourselves, blind or disabled.
00:15:54
My team realised that what the disabled need more than anything is human support.
00:16:00
Therefore, we proposed creating a volunteer programme called Interact.
00:16:06
A brief training would be necessary to learn the basics about managing a wheelchair and approaching disabled people.
00:16:11
We would win an identity badge like this when we are available to help.
00:16:17
Also, you can contact volunteers at www.interact.com or call 113.
00:16:21
This could create a network, relationships.
00:16:30
Our second solution includes making more schools both specialised and inclusive.
00:16:35
In our school, there's a boy, Miguel, who has Paraguay syndrome.
00:16:42
He goes to specialised classes part-time.
00:16:47
Standard classes part-time.
00:16:50
We have learned that we must give him instructions one at a time,
00:16:53
that he can get very angry and even throw things.
00:16:57
Yet, he is one of us. He is happy with us.
00:17:01
This is integration.
00:17:05
In conclusion, the challenge we face is to integrate the disabled.
00:17:08
My team realized that what the disabled need more than anything is human support.
00:17:13
Thus, we can all learn mutual respect and appreciation.
00:17:19
Like Nixie says, you are beautiful just the way that you are.
00:17:22
Promoting Interaction
00:17:26
Helen Keller was a famous American woman born in 1880,
00:17:34
who became deaf and blind at 19 months.
00:17:38
Despite her disabilities, she got a university degree and even became a famous speaker.
00:17:42
Although not as severe as Helen's, according to the United Nations,
00:17:48
10% of the world's population suffers from disabilities.
00:17:53
Consequently, we faced the difficult task of integrating these people.
00:17:57
Our two solutions are about creating interaction.
00:18:02
The first solution came to us after imagining ourselves blind and disabled.
00:18:05
My team realised that what the disabled needed more than anything is human support.
00:18:12
Therefore, we proposed creating a volunteer programme called Interact.
00:18:18
Schools would offer the brief training necessary to assist disabled people, especially the blind and deaf.
00:18:23
When we are available to help, we would wear an identity badge like this.
00:18:31
Also, you could contact volunteers through our website, interact, or call the 113.
00:18:36
This could create a network, relationships.
00:18:43
Our second solution includes making more schools both specialised and inclusive.
00:18:46
For example, in our school we have Javier Cañizares. He is 90% blind and deaf, plus he has reduced mobility.
00:18:52
He comes to our school twice a week to participate, physical education and a music class.
00:19:00
How can this be done? He can see where the ball is!
00:19:05
Well, with lots of support. His specialist teacher supervises him, while the students hold his hand and guide him.
00:19:09
They are building a relationship, making friends. This is integration.
00:19:17
In conclusion, the challenge to face is to integrate the disabled.
00:19:23
The solution is to interact as much as possible. Get involved.
00:19:27
Thus we can all learn mutual respect and appreciation.
00:19:32
Health care would be proud.
00:19:35
Responsible consumption.
00:19:45
How do you find a solution to a problem that no one seems to care about?
00:19:47
Consumption is the buying and using of goods and resources.
00:19:53
And we, as a race, are consuming more than ever, and despite repeated warnings.
00:19:57
But we are doing nothing to change this.
00:20:03
Let's take my family as an example.
00:20:07
Both my parents have cars.
00:20:10
My sister has just passed her driving test.
00:20:12
She wants a car as well.
00:20:16
She's really annoying.
00:20:18
But I ask you, do we really need three cars in my family?
00:20:19
How many people in this room have more than one car in their families?
00:20:22
Some people say we need them, but is that really true?
00:20:29
I have some facts for you.
00:20:34
More people in the world have mobile phones than toilets.
00:20:36
Can you believe that?
00:20:39
Also 72% of the rubbish we throw away could be recycled.
00:20:40
We use goods and resources like they will never run out.
00:20:47
But nowadays, in our planet, that is exactly what is happening to our planet's natural resources.
00:20:51
So, how do we solve this? The answer is simple. Education.
00:20:57
My parents are always telling me, money doesn't grow on trees.
00:21:02
Well, neither do phones, or cars, or food.
00:21:06
Well, some food does, but you know what I mean, right?
00:21:10
We need to start saving and realizing where things come from.
00:21:14
We need to start thinking about our planet.
00:21:17
Instead of going by car, get a public transport or even walk, it's a lot healthier.
00:21:20
Instead of buying the newest phone, use the one you have.
00:21:26
Instead of throwing away food, see if you can eat it another day.
00:21:29
Instead of having a bath, have a shower.
00:21:34
My mom could start doing that, she's in the bathroom for ages.
00:21:37
Let's make this planet a better place.
00:21:40
Not for you, not for me, but the future generations to come.
00:21:43
Let's start being responsible.
00:21:46
I'm sure you have all heard about the story of Robin Hood and the King, but who's the hero of the two?
00:22:02
Well, let's take a closer look at these characters.
00:22:09
On one hand, we have Prince John.
00:22:13
He has three main goals.
00:22:15
To take over the throne from his older brother, King Arthur, to defeat Robin Hood, and to become the richest individual in all England.
00:22:18
This shows that Prince John is jealous, aggressive, and greedy.
00:22:28
Prince John had to kill his nephew to become the King of England.
00:22:32
Since he loved money more than anything in the world, he continually tries to find ways to rob and swindle his people.
00:22:38
This shows that Prince John is not only a coward murderer, but also a selfish thief.
00:22:46
On the other hand, we have Robin Hood.
00:22:53
Robin is a heroic outlaw.
00:22:57
Now, some of you might be thinking, how can an Odlo be a hero?
00:22:59
Well, the truth is that Robin is a good and generous person at the heart,
00:23:04
who has been declared an Odlo because he steals from the rich king and gives it to the poor.
00:23:09
Robin is also very agile, a master of archery, and very skilled in sword fighting.
00:23:15
He's a funny, brave, good-natured, clever person.
00:23:22
Do you still have doubts?
00:23:27
It's pretty obvious that the hero in this story is Robin Hood.
00:23:29
But you can break the law for something you consider a good cause.
00:23:32
After all, this is just a story.
00:23:36
The tortoise or the hare?
00:23:44
Who is the greater of the two?
00:23:46
First, consider the hare.
00:23:48
He is by far the faster runner.
00:23:49
Yet, he loses.
00:23:52
Why?
00:23:53
Because he takes a nap.
00:23:55
In the middle of the race?
00:23:56
Not a good idea.
00:23:58
but imagine we part on the busybody for oversleeping still he has one attribute
00:23:59
which is completely unacceptable overconfidence he was showing off
00:24:04
practically celebrating his victory before the race mocking the tortoise he
00:24:10
takes it for granted that he will win and this is his downfall the tortoise on
00:24:16
the other hand is very humble he was brave to challenge such a fast animal
00:24:22
He appears slow to think and move, but he has a strategy.
00:24:28
He's focused, consistent, and hardworking.
00:24:33
This race demands a great effort on his behalf, but he doesn't give up.
00:24:37
Instead, his positive attitude and determination make us admire him.
00:24:43
And he unexpectedly wins the race.
00:24:49
He teaches us a lesson, that if you work hard, you'll get far in life.
00:24:52
In conclusion, the tortoise is the greater of the two.
00:24:56
While the hare is overconfident, the tortoise is extremely admirable.
00:25:01
In fact, even if tortoise had lost the race, he would have won the favour of us all.
00:25:06
The tortoise or the hare? Who is the greater of the two?
00:25:17
First, consider the hare. He is by far the faster runner, yet he loses.
00:25:21
Why? Because he takes a nap in the middle of the race, not a good idea.
00:25:27
But imagine we excuse the busybody for oversleeping.
00:25:32
Still, he has one attribute which is completely unacceptable.
00:25:36
Overconfidence.
00:25:41
He was showing off, practically celebrating his victory before the race began, mocking the tortoise.
00:25:43
He takes it for granted that he will win, and this is his downfall.
00:25:49
The tortoise, on the other hand, is very humble. He was brave to challenge such a fast animal.
00:25:55
He appears slow to think and move, but he has a strategy.
00:26:02
He's focused, consistent and hardworking. This race demands a great effort on his behalf.
00:26:07
His positive attitude and determination make us admire him.
00:26:14
And he unspeakably wins the race. He teaches us a lesson that if you work hard, you'll get far in life. In conclusion, the tortoise is the greater of the two. While the hare is overconfident, the tortoise is extremely humble. In fact, even if tortoise had lost the race, he would have won the favor of us all.
00:26:18
Captain Hook and Peter Pan. Peter Pan, the boy who never grew up. Brave leader of the Lost Boys. Rescuer of the Princess Tiger Lily. Loyal friend. Pfft, what a load of old rubbish. He should have tried being captain of his own ship. Captain Hook was the only sane adult in Never Neverland.
00:26:48
Can't you imagine being around and take care with all of us kids? What a nightmare!
00:27:10
According to Peter Pan, Captain Hook was evil, a man who wanted to kill him, a thief and a pirate.
00:27:18
No, no, no, he was obviously just misunderstood.
00:27:26
He wasn't evil, he was just under a lot of stress.
00:27:30
My mom says she sometimes gets stressed with me, and that doesn't make her evil.
00:27:35
Captain Hook didn't want to kill Peter Pan.
00:27:42
He just wanted to help him.
00:27:48
Crocodiles are really dangerous animals, you know.
00:27:51
He was trying to be a responsible adult.
00:27:53
As for being a thief and a pirate, as far as I'm concerned,
00:27:56
finders keepers, losers sweepers.
00:28:01
It's not a thing if no one knows you've taken it.
00:28:04
And anyway, Peter Pan claimed he could fly.
00:28:08
Who would believe what a ten-year-old said?
00:28:12
I know I wouldn't.
00:28:15
It's the same words of my parents.
00:28:16
Oh, grow up!
00:28:18
Learning from our elders.
00:28:32
Everyone grows older at some point in their life.
00:28:34
Being older equals more life experiences,
00:28:37
more decisions made, more mistakes made,
00:28:40
and therefore more lessons learned.
00:28:43
We all learn from the experiences we have had during our lifetime, good or bad.
00:28:44
These experiences help us to make better decisions later on.
00:28:51
So, wouldn't it be easier and more efficient to take advice from someone older than us?
00:28:56
For example, an older brother, an older sister, or from our parents.
00:29:01
If we listen to their advice, we can learn so much.
00:29:05
But, why do we find it so hard?
00:29:09
maybe it's our pride because usually they are always right. Why? It's simple
00:29:11
they have already passed through these experiences. Let me tell you about
00:29:18
experience we have all had. I remember one day when I was at the school
00:29:24
swinging on my chair and my teacher said Isabel don't swing on your chair you're
00:29:29
going to fall off but of course I didn't listen to her. So what happened? I fell
00:29:35
off my chair. But how did my teacher know that it was going to fall off?
00:29:42
Ha! Because the same thing had happened to her when she was my age. Let me tell
00:29:47
you about a good experience too. My teachers pushed me to come here to this
00:29:53
competition. At the beginning I was scared, shy and very nervous. I didn't
00:29:58
really want to do it. I thought it would be impossible to reach the second stage, but
00:30:03
my teachers insisted and encouraged me to do it. And look what happened! Here we are
00:30:10
at the second stage of this competition and having the best time of our lives. This is
00:30:15
certainly an experience from which we will learn. So the teachers were right, as usual.
00:30:20
We can learn from our own experiences, although it's quicker and more efficient if we listen
00:30:26
and learn from someone older than us learning languages the world is getting
00:30:32
smaller and knowing languages is creating opportunities but others might
00:30:41
say you need a higher level of English to get into university or English is
00:30:45
absolutely necessary to get a good job and especially say learning languages
00:30:51
increases your intelligent and musical ear and once you learn a second language
00:30:56
the third one comes more easily. This is all true, but learning languages has endless benefits
00:31:00
more exciting than this. First, it's fun. Sure, you have to do some grammar, but you
00:31:08
can learn through games, reading, watching movies, singing, acting and more. At home,
00:31:13
your parents will let you watch more TV and play more computer games when you sing, but
00:31:19
my arm is to improve my English. Apart from being fun, it's extremely useful. Take the
00:31:23
For example, English is the dominant language for any research, science and technology.
00:31:29
Also, with a second language, you'll help tourists and meet foreigners.
00:31:35
Travel almost anywhere and English will be useful.
00:31:39
You will feel more confident and efficient, and won't feel helpless in an emergency.
00:31:42
Doing a cultural exchange is the best way to travel.
00:31:47
Learn different lifestyles and costumes.
00:31:51
You'll find out that our own costumes are actually strange to others.
00:31:53
Nowadays we have easy access to endless resources.
00:31:58
Foreigners are easily contacted by internet for language exchanges.
00:32:02
Adults, there are even language exchanges cafes in Madrid.
00:32:06
Also, through internet, FaceTime and Skype, we are just a click away from live exchanges around the world.
00:32:10
This means your future boss could live in China.
00:32:16
When you speak many languages, your location won't matter.
00:32:20
It's simple. The more languages you speak, the more connections and opportunities you have.
00:32:23
So, don't waste another minute. Choose a language and get started.
00:32:28
Learning languages.
00:32:38
The world is getting smaller and knowing languages is creating opportunities.
00:32:40
Parents might say, you need a high level of English to get into university.
00:32:45
Or, English is absolutely necessary to get a good job.
00:32:50
And specialists say, learning languages enhances your intelligence and musical ear.
00:32:54
And once you learn a second language, the third one comes more easily.
00:33:01
This is all true, but learning languages has endless benefits more exciting than this.
00:33:07
First, it's fun!
00:33:12
So you have to do some rubber.
00:33:14
But you can learn games, computer games, singing, acting, watching movies, and much more.
00:33:16
At home, your parents will let you watch more TV and play more computer games when you say,
00:33:22
but mom, it's to improve my English.
00:33:28
Apart from being fun, it's extremely useful.
00:33:31
Take the internet, for example.
00:33:34
English is the dominant language for any research, science and technology, and even computer games.
00:33:36
Travel almost anywhere and English will be useful.
00:33:43
Yes, learning a language is the best excuse to travel.
00:33:47
Do a cultural change.
00:33:50
Nowadays, you have easy access to endless resources.
00:33:52
Foreigners are easily contacted by Internet for language exchanges.
00:33:58
Adults, there are even language exchanges cafes in Madrid.
00:34:02
You could meet the woman of your dreams.
00:34:06
Also, through Internet, FaceTime and Skype, we are just a click away from live exchanges around the world.
00:34:08
This means your future boss could live in China.
00:34:15
When you speak many languages, your location won't matter.
00:34:19
It's simple, the more languages you speak,
00:34:22
the more connections and opportunities you'll have.
00:34:25
So, forget watching that movies with lips that move off time.
00:34:27
Forget translated book that never do justice or original.
00:34:31
Don't waste another minute,
00:34:36
choose a language and get started now.
00:34:37
Aprende de nuestros mayores.
00:34:45
My parents says that we live in a fast-paced world.
00:34:47
Of course, I don't know,
00:34:51
because for me it's always been the same.
00:34:52
We live in a world with incredible technologies,
00:34:56
and information can't cross the wall in seconds.
00:34:59
My parents and teachers always talk about how everything
00:35:02
is much faster now.
00:35:08
Trains, cars, airplanes, communication, and life
00:35:10
in general seems to have changed a lot for them.
00:35:15
At a 12-year-old, the use of technology in my life is a daily routine.
00:35:18
The world is connected through computers, through computers all over the world.
00:35:26
However, it's an entirely different story when it comes to my grandparents.
00:35:31
They hate using mobile phones.
00:35:37
They sometimes have trouble finding their contacts, not to mention using the Internet,
00:35:39
explaining Facebook or Google can sometimes be a challenge.
00:35:46
But if we take a minute to think,
00:35:51
isn't it true that our elders know the answer to everything anyway?
00:35:54
Whenever I have a problem in the school, they are with the answer,
00:35:59
and if they don't know it, they are the way to get it.
00:36:04
When my parents have a dog, who do they call?
00:36:07
I remember one day I was studying history in the First and Second World War.
00:36:11
I didn't understand.
00:36:19
I called my grandfather and he explained me everything without technology.
00:36:20
Our elders don't need the internet, why?
00:36:27
Because they have lived, they have experienced and they know firsthand how it's been our
00:36:31
age.
00:36:36
They have mistakes and they learn from them and now they have the best connection with the world and itself.
00:36:37
So the next time you have a job or you want to learn something new, technology is a great idea.
00:36:44
But those who have experience, life, also have knowledge of that.
00:36:50
We are going to proceed to the delivery of diplomas and I am going to make a few observations.
00:36:58
will be named only the centers awarded from lower to higher score.
00:37:10
The definitive results are known in a very short time, as you can see.
00:37:22
Therefore, the teacher or the students will not be named.
00:37:26
The diplomas that will be delivered are provisional,
00:37:30
and the definitives will be directed to the center and will be personal.
00:37:33
No, no, no, no. The definitives will be sent to the Centre and will be delivered in the act of closing on the 28th of Wednesday.
00:37:38
You can go up to pick up the diploma, the director of the Centre, the teacher and the students, whatever you want.
00:37:49

00:41:41

00:41:48
