Empowering Youths: The 'Mi Cometa Interior' Experience in Miami
On April 25, 2026, Millennia Atlantic University in Miami will be the scene of an innovative workshop titled 'Mi Cometa Interior.' This event is organized by the Ismael Cala Foundation and aims to empower young individuals by helping them recognize and express their emotions in a healthy manner. Spanning three hours, this session is designed to lay the groundwork for improved self-esteem and the cultivation of leadership skills from within.
In a world increasingly characterized by competition and rapid change, excelling academically is no longer the sole predictor of future success. Today, emotional intelligence and leadership have emerged as essential skills that can equip young people to navigate the academic, social, and professional challenges that lie ahead.
Building on the successful methodology of 'El Vuelo de la Cometa,' which has positively impacted over 5,000 youths across various countries including Guatemala, Nicaragua, Colombia, Venezuela, Panama, and the United States since its inception in 2019, the 'Mi Cometa Interior' experience adapts this approach into a concentrated and immersive format. This initiative marks the initial step toward fostering self-awareness and personal growth.
A First Step Toward Leadership
Participants will engage in constructing their own kites, a hands-on activity that serves as a metaphor for key personal development concepts, which include:
- - Self-awareness
- - Emotional regulation
- - Decision-making
- - Personal leadership
From 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, young attendees will be equipped with practical tools to help them recognize and manage their feelings in various everyday situations. This newfound clarity will enhance their self-confidence and help them better understand their potential.
Experienced facilitators certified by the Ismael Cala Foundation, including psychologists, educators, and youth specialists, will guide the experience, ensuring that participants enjoy a secure and structured environment conducive to learning.
An Investment in Purposeful Leadership
The participation cost is $188.99 per youth and covers:
- - Three hours of experiential training to kick-start socio-emotional skills development.
- - Educational materials.
- - A water bottle.
- - Snacks.
- - Support from certified facilitators.
- - Access to an online course, 'El Vuelo de la Cometa Virtual para Padres,' which equips parents with emotional intelligence tools to enhance communication and support for their teens.
The inclusion of the parent program underscores the belief that leadership development extends beyond the individual and encompasses the familial environment as well.
