First Edition Nazareth CUIDA Challenge

Nazaret CUIDA was born in 2019 with the ambition of achieving the sustainable transformation of schools in a visionary, innovative and supportive way, and is, in itself, a call to action in a collaborative way of all the key agents directly or indirectly related to our schools, putting children at the center, girls and young students to be actors of change. The starting point of the Sustainable Transformation Model “Nazareth CUIDA” is the 2030 Agenda and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), promulgated by the United Nations (UN), adapted to the beliefs, needs and challenges of the Nazareth Congregation.

The Model is structured based on 4 key pillars: a Sustainable Organizational Culture of schools, a Sustainable Educational Program providing its students with transversal competences directly related to the challenges posed by sustainability, Physical Spaces and Sustainable Environment taking into account the particularities of each local community where they are located, and Sustainable Financing to implement the projects and measures of these pillars.

After more than a year and a half of travel, with more than 60 projects deployed in 11 different countries and 4 continents, in this year 2021, we launched the First Edition Nazaret CUIDA Challenge.

The objective is to value the Nazaret CUIDA projects of Sustainability and Innovation that are being developed in all Nazareth Schools internationally, giving voice to the boys and girls who are carrying them out. Each school will select a project and a team of students who will represent it. A Committee of External Expert Evaluators will evaluate the projects and, in May 2021, a digital gala will be held with the representation of all the participants and sponsors of the Challenge (Quadpack Foundation, CELSA Group and Nechi Group), where the 3 winners will be announced. The winners will take € 2,000 (1st prize), € 1,000 (2nd prize) or € 500 (3rd prize) for benefit and use within their school in the development of the Nazareth CUIDA projects.
