The young are our hope. They must live -here and now- the desirable future that we want to leave for those who have not yet been born.
At the University of Azuay, the entire community of professors, students, and officials is fully committed to the inspiring effort to anticipate the desirable future, the future in which the goals of humanity to care for life tenderly, practice the ethics of justice and an environment of hope for the new generations. All our activities are inspired by one or more of the sustainable development goals.
In 2015, humanity set out the objectives to be achieved in 2030; Today -halfway through- we see that we still have a lot to do as a civilization, that perhaps we have fallen short in what we have accomplished. And yet, the future has begun to look somewhat different, thanks to a global political awakening, a staggering drop in the price of clean energy, a new vision of humanity's aspirations, and the concrete actions of every person and community. in a day to day that moves away from the pure eagerness of accumulation and consumption and approaches an ethic of care, a cosmopolitan ethic that sees that we are only as strong as the weakest of creatures.
Our ancestors and we have led the world to the conditions that we live today with fear, in us is the decision about the future that we will build together for future generations and for the fulfillment of life. The University of Azuay is the good place where we can begin to celebrate it with hope.
