About this talk
On Tuesday 27 August 2024, Liceo Politécnico Paulina von Mallinckrodt — a technical and vocational girls’ school in Santiago — screened «42K de Perseverancia» to thirteen classes at once, as part of its Technical and Vocational Training Week.
The documentary opened the talks series «Historias e ideas dignas de contar» — Stories and ideas worth telling — designed to show students that technical and vocational training is not a narrow path, but an opportunity for personal and social growth.
The school’s invitation put it plainly: they wanted their students to see how someone keeps going despite the obstacles, and to build resilience of their own.
What they said
Quoted in the original Spanish.
«Quisimos que nuestras estudiantes pudieran ver el documental, ya que muestra la capacidad de seguir adelante a pesar de los obstáculos y desafíos que se puedan presentar en la vida. Queremos que desarrollen habilidades de resiliencia que les permitan lograr un desarrollo integral. La experiencia de Macarena permite motivar la actitud positiva, crear planes de acción, enfocarse en el progreso y seguir objetivos claros y alcanzables. Lo fundamental es enseñar que la superación personal, independiente del obstáculo, está en nuestras manos.»
