Compartimos la programación de la Sección de Infancia y Juventud del XI Festival Internacional DERHUMALC- Cine de Derechos Humanos que se lleva a cabo en la ciudad de Buenos Aires del 27 de Mayo al 10 de Junio del presente año.La Sección de Infancia y Juventud es coordinada por la Asociación Vientos del Sur.
Comparto con ustedes un video de una exposición que tuve la oportunidad de hacer el año pasado en representación de la Asociación Vientos del Sur, titulada "Participación Juvenil y Nuevas Tecnologías".
En mi exposición abordo someramente conceptos y herramientas útiles para el trabajo de las ONGs juveniles.
Web 2.0, Ciberactivismo, los nativos digitales, el poder de los Blogs, los Wikis, las mal llamadas redes sociales, entre otros temas están incluidos en este resumen de menos de 10 minutos (la exposición original duró 30 minutos)
Gracias a Gastón por realizar la filmación y a Nacho por convertirla a formato digital.
A quienes les interese la relación entre participación, juventud e internet, los invito a leer un artículo que escribí el año pasado para un dossier sobre "juventud y TICs" para el Portal de Juventud de América Latina y el Caribe, clickeando acá
Hacer periodismo online a veces puede parecer tedioso, repetitivo, y hasta alienante, pero en ocasiones, también puede ser gratificante. A mí me gratifica servir para que algunas historias sean contadas y difundidas:
“Somos una pareja de hombres y nos queremos casar”
Alex y José María se conocieron en 2005 y mañana solicitarán un turno para contraer matrimonio. “Sabiendo que la interpretación de la ley actual nos va a discriminar, les pedimos que nos acompañen en este acto de amor”, dice la invitación...Seguí leyendo esta historia en la nota que escribí para ElArgentino.com
El 4º encuentro juvenil de Memoria, Verdad y Justicia fue organizado por la municipalidad de Berazategui junto con el Consejo Escolar local, durante los días 16 y 17 de abril de 2009.

La Asociación Vientos del Sur recibió a la Presidenta de la organización Youth for Human Rights International, Dra. Mary Shuttleworth, quien visitó Buenos Aires, como parte de una gira mundial con fines educativos. Participaron de la reunión miembros del staff de nuestra asociación, así como también directivos de la representación local de YHRI, de reciente creación.
Escribo esto mientras se me caen las lágrimas de tristeza y emoción al mismo tiempo leyendo todos los mensajes de agradecimiento y reconocimiento en Twitter, Facebook y diarios online.
Hace menos de dos horas murió el ex presidente de la Nación, Raúl Alfonsín. No tiene mucho sentido que me explaye mucho. Solamente vale decir que como joven político (en sentido amplio y estrecho de la palabra política) siempre tuve gran admiración y respeto por su persona. Me pareció siempre un tipo inteligentísimo, muy culto y sobre todo, honrado.
Durante mi adolescensia fui con ganas a varias conferencias que dio cuando ya era ex presidente. Me acuerdo cuando en una de ellas dijo -palabras más, palabras menos- que el "tercer sector" debía ser valorado, pero en su justa medida, porque también representaba una forma de privatización de lo público... en ese momento recién se empezaba a hablar de las ONGs y esa idea, en el contexto del menemismo, era una llamada de atención...
Hoy un compañero de trabajo me preguntó si me acordaba algo de su gobierno y sí, algunos fragmentos de esos tiempos tengo en la memoria.
Lo primero que recuerdo es la campaña presidencial. Tengo la imagen de estar en la casa de mi abuelo viendo la televisión (tenía 5 años) y a mí me había caído re bien esa forma de saludar de Alfonsín, agarrándose las manos y yo lo imitaba. Hasta que mi mamá me dijo que no hiciera eso delante de mi abuelo porque se iba a enojar (él era peronista hasta la médula). También me acuerdo de las pintadas Luder-Bittel y la RA de las calcomanías.
Me acuerdo de la gran movida cultural en los barrios. Mi papá me llevaba seguido a fiestas en las calles y a centros culturales, por ejemplo el de Parque Chacabuco, siempre con exposiciones y con actividades para chicos.
Una vez, en un festival se armó un concurso de baile y vaya uno a saber por qué me llevé uno de los premios! :P Tengo todavía el trofeo en la casa de mis viejos. El animador decía "que suba el chico que tiene tal y cual ropa (no me acuerdo exáctamente) y yo no me daba por aludido... hasta que alguien me dijo: che, me parece que hablan de vos, juajaua...
Otro gran evento al que fui con mi papá fue la Bienal de Arte Joven. Había mucha gente con boinas blancas y no recuerdo bien a raiz de qué exposición de la bienal mi papá me explicó de qué se trataba la llamada "guerra de las galaxias" (y no hablamos de la película eh...)
También me acuerdo de la elección de 1987. Yo tenía varicela, pero no me había pegado fuerte, así que mi papá me llevó a votar y me dejaron entrar en el cuarto oscuro!
Y sí, también me acuerdo de los momentos malos. Me acuerdo del copamiento al cuartel de La Tablada. Y me acuerdo de estar en el Supercoop con mi mamá y que muchos repositores estuvieran cambiando los precios permanentemente. Y me acuerdo en la colonia de vacaciones charlando con otros chicos sobre el precio del dólar (!)
Me acuerdo también de haber ido a varias marchas con mi mamá en contra de la ley de obediencia debida y punto final.
Y sí, también me acuerdo, aunque cueste decirlo, de festejar el triunfo de Menem en las elecciones de 1989 :S Pero también, de lo rápido que se desmoronó toda la ilusión cuando de revolución productiva se pasó a darle todo el poder a Bunge & Born.
Los ignominiosos años del gobierno de Menem y la mierda de la que se llenó el hacer política no hicieron otra cosa que iluminar la figura de Alfonsín.
Don Raúl, muchas gracias por todo. Como acaba de decir mi novia, al contarle de tu paso a la inmortalidad: fuiste "el político más capo que mi generación pudo conocer". Que descanses en paz.

La foto que ilustra este posteo me la saqué en agosto de 1997, durante una conferencia que dio Alfonsín en la sede del Partido Demócrata Cristiano. Yo en ese entonces tenía 19 años, era militante político y presidía la Juventud Demócrata Cristiana de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires. :)
Según escribieron los organizadores del Twestival Buenos Aires:
"El 12 de febrero de 2009 más de 150 ciudades alrededor del mundo serán sede del Twestival que reunirá a la comunidad twittera local para pasar un buen momento y recaudar fondos para la ONG Charity: Water (http://www.charitywater.org)
El Twestival está organizado 100% por voluntarios.
Charity Water es una ONG que brinda agual limpia y segura a los paises en via de desarrollo financiando proyectos para proveer agua de manera sustentable en las regiones más pobres. En este momento 1000 millones de personas no tienen acceso al agua potable."
En la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, el Twestival tendrá lugar en Alicia Moreau de Justo 1808, Puerto Madero, el 12 de febrero a las 19.30 hs.
Es una interesante iniciativa en tanto aprovecha muchos aspectos propios de la "web 2.0", como la viralidad en la difusión de los mensajes, el interés y la predisposición para colaborar que hay entre los usuarios (especialmente una vez lograda cierta "masa crítica" y la participación de "referentes") y por sobre todo, el perfil del twittero, predominantemente profesional de clase media/media alta, al que le gustan las reuniones sociales "entre pares", después de la oficina.
Introduction and the book includes nine chapters and conclusion, and a word of thanks, the page three hundred and sixty-eight pages, and the importance of the book lies not only in the fact that the author is the head of the United States. And that some or many of the ideas contained in this book will be applied in one form or another and in different proportions, and these ideas contradict most of the policies of Bush and his conservative ideological and the Evangelical Alliance and the new, although we will not exaggerate the hopes and expectations will impart with Obama after he entered the White House State of America is administered by institutions and lobbies for the control of the multiple economic, and religious press, but we certainly expect a difference in style and approach, and serious attempts to rehabilitate the image of America and alleviate the situation of escalating hostility toward America among many peoples, not only in the world of the developing South, but in the world of the North especially from Europe and Russia through the advocacy of the ideals upon which America and the respect for international law and the charters of the United Nations and human rights, environmental protection and the application of real democracy and democracy is not 99.99%.
It must be pointed out that the book of books that get the fat designation is intense ideas and should be read carefully and it reflects the depth of thinking and a culture of accuracy and excellent views of the domestic and foreign policy is not surprising that self way amid the sweat of their brows maintained and sponsored by the family of the form of hardworking mother and grandmother, a graduate of the Faculty of Law at Columbia University and studied constitutional law at the University of Chicago as well as the early work in the field of civil rights and of the Council of the mandate of Alnioi then a member of the Senate in Washington.
And records of Obama in this book daring and frankness in criticism of American policy mistakes since the inception of the United States, especially the question of slavery, American Indians, racial discrimination and to Latin America as well as his criticism of this policy after the two first and the second is not only wrong, but the impact of proposed solutions and the further advantage of this record.
I think that reading this book not only for the task of politicians in the Arab world, whether they are in power or opposition in the parliament or the government but also to all the media and the intellectuals and opinion leaders in civil society organizations in order to know the direction of U.S. foreign policy in the era of his presidency, focusing primarily in the Chapter VIII (the world beyond our borders) in order to benefit from his experience in the field of politics and in its dealings with its citizens and voters and opponents alike, which runs more or less the policy of the world.
This is a simple attempt to summarize the eighth chapter, which concerns us only
Chapter VIII: the world beyond our borders
This chapter is one of the most important chapters of the non-American readers because it relates to foreign policy of interest to all the world thanks to the throne of America expressed the strongest military in the world economically and scientifically.
This chapter begins by talking about his childhood in Indonesia when he arrived with the husband of his mother and the age of six years, where he remained for about four years left for Hawaii, where his grandfather and grandmother lived to his mother, and then visited Indonesia four times. He criticizes the record of America in this country and its cooperation with the Suharto and condoned the violation of human rights despite the fact that this policy changed after the end of the Cold War.
Turning then growing jihadist fundamentalist Islam in Indonesia and has become a secular decline (one of the largest Islamic parties and political blocs, many of which call for the application of law).
He also pointed out that the Middle East funded mosques and religious schools in the IAF and that many women have committed themselves to the Islamic dress code that prevails in North Africa and the Gulf, which sheds light on the Islamic group which is chaired by Bashir, which he accuses of links with al-Qaeda and he concludes from this country under such variables as (become the land of strangers).
Then, after dealing with the history of foreign policy, which began the era of isolation and expansion to the west and south-west and the blatant interference in the new world and then in the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean and the war entered its first, second, whether the refusal to ratify the membership of the United States of the League of Nations against the principles of age and supporters have justified isolation that (encroachment on the sovereignty of America and the restriction of the senseless America's ability to impose its will on the world),
however, that all changed after Pearl Harbor. When the war ended and the Cold War emerged, despite the success of America to avoid nuclear war during the (26) years and to reach a successful conclusion of the cold war and an era of unprecedented economic growth, but foreign policy remained a neglected area of human rights and support of corrupt dictatorships and coups against elected leaders but to policy makers American policy looked at the problems of the world from the perspective of a diplomat, not a result of cooperation between the Pentagon and the Iron Triangle, the military-industrial complex and members of Congress who are in their arms companies.
It also points out that foreign policy has been opposed, and find it even though the policy Nikson and Kissinger's policy in terms of skill, Carter focused on human rights, in sympathy with the policy of the Reagan "Star Wars" and the motive of some aspects of the Reagan vision of the world as it indicates that Bush's father in terms of realism and traditional Despite the successes, however, fell Foreign result (focus the attention of American public opinion on the economic situation of procedure) 296. While Clinton has focused more on trade from the tank and to protect intellectual property rights to protect the lives of more Americans.
Although the events of 11 September led to the heart of things upside down and increased the authority of President Bush and the sympathy of the international community with the United States, however, that the process of eliminating the Taliban in Afghanistan have been unsuccessful. It calls for the formulation of foreign policy success of the atheist and the twentieth century not only by military force against terrorism, but (to adopt an international meeting on the new transnational threats to the borders of States)
to guide the policy of the use of military force and expresses its ideals. In this connection describes the US-led invasion of Iraq that it (the invasion of senseless and reckless recklessly violated the sovereignty of an Islamic country) and the stimulation of the insurgency has adopted a broad sense of the religious and national dignity and increased anti-American.
And cooperation with the international community considers it necessary, however, then he (if we have to do the job alone, the American people would be willing to pay any price).
It also rejects the methods of Bush to impose democracy with guns and support across the parties supported by Washington, and calls for attention to generate chaos, failed because the chaos and calls for activating the work of the United Nations and the chapter concludes by talking about the Arab-Israeli conflict, which had visited the zone of conflict in the Holy Land and reached ( absurd to believe that a solution to this conflict in the current generation and the ability of America, despite its overwhelming to determine the course of events in the world).
Arab-Israeli conflict is one of the most protracted conflicts historic - now more than fifty years of continuous - defined by the contemporary world and, of course, their roots and sources of conflict to the late nineteenth century and until the Israel entity in Palestine in 1948. And characterized the Arab-Israeli conflict from other conflicts that covers various aspects of strategic, political, military, economic, cultural and other, as well as the extensive use by the Zionist creed of the myths and allegations of religious institution to interpretation dpi and fabrication of the facts of the religious Torah and the Talmud and other religious interpretations by mixing distorted by project leaders Israel ideology of secularism with the belief of this project and the main argument.
Extremism in the Israeli concepts
Another unique part of Israel within the framework of this conflict by adopting a unique and peculiar notions of national security requirements and maintain the presence and safety entity of Israel, noting that all the actions of Israel's internal and external economic and political security requirements are subject to options where stem Israel political and other permanent Israeli security requirements Which is now the supreme value among the various values of Israeli major and growing anomaly that perception especially with the post-cold war world, the Horn of atheist century, which occupied the place where economic geography or geopolitics
Moreover, Israel was almost the only country in the world that insists on the complete restructuring of the main regional and sub-regional systems surrounding it, it asserts that there is an absolute necessity for the bombing and the removal of the Arab regional order but also to fragment the Arab national social entity Not only that but also fragment the fabric National Social each Arab country separately.
We have to notes that all political settlements that have been so far between Israel on one hand and each of Egypt, Jordan and the Palestinian Authority considers adjustments along the tense and contains within it the sources of tension for the return of the conflict over private sources of permanent and comprehensive settlement and stable.
Reveal recent developments in concepts and policy development, especially sustainable development and human resource development for the escalation of the economic gap between Arabs and Israel for years, this addition to that investment in development, technology and spending on scientific research witnessing a marked decline in the Arab side by development policies that were adopted to export Raw material consumption and the development of recreation and a lack of interest by diversifying the economy and make it more complex ones, along with the majority of Arab countries still rely mainly on external resources, namely, does not depend on the capacities of local and national resources but affected the conditions of the international environment such as oil exports and tourism, expatriate remittances and foreign aid The foreign loans and sea lanes, such as the Suez Canal, one example of the negative consequences of these policies is the relative stability or decline in GDP growth rates or absolute figures for this product,
Development rates in Israel and the Arab States
It is well known that the human development index comprises mainly on three key indicators are:
1. The rate of literacy.
2. Average per capita gross domestic product.
3. Life expectancy at birth.
Besides education and health services, potable water and sanitation.
In terms of human development ladder, we find the following
• Egypt is ranked 124 in the world which is classified among the countries of low growth or lower States average growth, average per capita GDP in 1290 dollars and Egypt is ranked 127 in the world.
• Israel ranked 36 in the measurement of human development and per capita GDP of approximately $ 16 thousand and is ranked 32 in the world in this regard.
• Jordan is ranked 100 in development all over the world and a per capita of $ 1520 and is ranked 120.
The project focused before the establishment of the Israel and then continued on strategic planning, which provides forecasts and alternative poses a national priorities and preferences, while Arab and distinguished performance with a few exceptions in the fifties and sixties deal practical and pragmatic with seasonal and situational developments and events of the conflict with Israel, while devoted many institutions and communities Research in various areas of nuclear, military, security, economic and demographic in dealing with conflict management, dealing still confined to the Arab administration official bureaucracy,
which includes government institutions and ministries of foreign affairs, defense and intelligence departments and only rarely Arab governments to adopt strategic planning centers of public and private, Israel has completed the beginning of the year 1990 plan is the first of its kind since its inception, entitled "Israel in 2020" lasted six years, where he focused research team Institute of Engineering and Applied Haifa comprises about 250 specialists and crews from ten ministries, and resulted in work on the development of 18 volumes trying to cover all aspects of the Israeli internal and external.
With regard to the Israeli plan to overcome the significant population growth among the Arabs of 1948 in light of declining birth rates among Israeli Jews there attract immigrants from the former Soviet Union states at a million immigrants in the coming years after it managed to attract another million years 1990 and 2000, there also modify the balance of population For the benefit of Jews through the expansion of settlement and within the so-called Green Line, which showed the availability of a high level of awareness of the strategic nature of the conflict with Israel as the conflict extends to a comprehensive and demographic aspects of water and related land and the economy as well as confrontation and military intelligence, has developed a working group chaired by Minister of Infrastructure radical (Lieberman), which advocates the expulsion of Palestinians to Jordan voluntarily or mansion, known as the plan entitled "Israel in 2000" That was late in 1996 and included a plan of action for three axes:
1 - Adding new areas of the so-called "development towns".
2 - Provide incentives for those who go for construction and housing in these towns.
3 - The link between the settlements in the West Bank while expanding the Green Line to be annexed to Jerusalem large areas of the West Bank and this is what was in the era of Sharon's government in parallel with the accelerated construction of the dividing line between Arabs and Israelis of Arab Jerusalem and along the Green Belt.
In the military aspects clear perception of higher-Israeli strategic plan recently called "the fabric of 2000" which are based on constant readiness for war option and the plan focuses on the following rules:
• The existence of so-called deterrence based on the image of Israel as a nuclear superpower in the eyes of the Arab region.
• Effective defense: a plan fence to protect Israel from the land surface.
• Defense negative: prevention and civil defense.
• Warning and strategic information.
• offensive capabilities and to acquire F-15 aircraft and the development of the control and surveillance of the distance, while most of the Arab parties embraced the so-called peace as a strategic option, did not develop the potential outbreak of the war and how to deal with situations of tension and instability, as the case since the outbreak of the second intifada, 2000 till now.
However, the intifada of regulatory capacities popular armament even a simple addition to grass-roots efforts and extensive face normalization with Israel and raise the slogan of boycotting American goods and products can provide a concrete and reasonable level which can be called deterrence popular help provide an environment of threat to Israeli security.
