Drew Perkins welcomes Emily Waugh and Gabriela Delgado de Fina, both Assistant Heads of School for the A+ World Academy. They discuss the academy's unique educational model: a 10-month voyage for 72 students aboard the Sorlandet, a fully rigged ship built in 1927. The conversation explores the challenges and rewards of a "school at sea," where academics, communal living, and maritime training converge.

Emily and Gabriela detail the academy's core philosophy and five goals for global leadership, which integrates academics with global studies, communal living, maritime training, and reflective learning. They share how students are required to participate in maritime watches, cleaning, and galley duties, fostering a deep sense of responsibility and grit. A mandatory course, "Self Systems and Society," serves as the anchor for these experiences, providing a space for students to reflect on conflict resolution and the unique challenges of sharing a living space with 72 peers. The discussion dives into the academy's current transition toward a more Project-Based Learning (PBL) curriculum. Gabriela and Emily candidly discuss the hurdles of implementing inquiry-based research, such as "Port Quests," in an environment with limited internet and library resources. They highlight the ongoing internal debate about balancing traditional knowledge acquisition with progressive skill development, illustrating what Drew calls a "knowledge-rich inquiry" model. Finally, they touch upon the essential nature of memorization in maritime life—where knowing the names and functions of hundreds of lines is a matter of safety—and the rigorous admissions process that seeks out curious students who are ready for the sacrifice and adventure of life at sea.

¿Sabes qué es la Educación Sexual Integral? ¿Es cierto que busca homosexualizar a los niños y niñas? ¿Es verdad que les enseñan sólo sobre sexo? En este episodio conversamos con María José Tamayo, Gabriela Delgado y Antonella Lavaggi, líderes de la iniciativa Juntas - primera marca social y plataforma de Educación Sexual Integral (ESI) creada con y para adolescentes - sobre la importancia de la ESI y de cómo esta es mucho más que solo sexo.
En este episodio nos acompaña Gabriela Delgado @coraldeleste, recuperada de bulimia nerviosa, cantante, publicista y quien es la fundadora y directora de nuestra fundación.
La cuarentena nos agarró con los calzones abajo a muchos y a muchas. Nuestras rutinas cambiaron, nuestra forma de trabajar y estudiar se transformó y lo mismo pasó con nuestras relaciones sociales; el skype, hangouts, FaceTime, Teams y Zoom se volvieron nuestros bares y salas de casa para echar chisme con nuestros conocidos. Y aunque esas dinámicas nos hacen sentir algún tipo de compañía, el sentimiento de soledad es inevitable. Mi nombre es Gabriela Delgado y les voy a contar un poco cómo me ha ido a mi, por si de repente sienten alguna conexión y pueden hallar respuestas. En medio de mi monólogo saldrán algunos tips que les pueden servir. ¡Gracias por escuchar!
