vLACE | Santiago de Chile 2026

vLACE es un programa ejecutivo que ayuda a líderes educativos a construir comunidades en las que todos puedan crecer como personas.

vLACE se compone de nueve talleres de ocho horas cada uno (más un taller introductorio), repartidos mensualmente a lo largo de un curso académico. Cada taller expone el enfoque de un experto internacional en educación del carácter. Estos expertos no asisten presencialmente a los talleres. Los facilitadores de Become dirigen cada taller, presentando el enfoque de cada autor a través de vídeos, actividades, reflexiones y lecturas. Las fechas y el horario concreto de cada taller son las siguientes:

01

Identity and Integrity

To promote the self-knowledge and cultivation of the identity and integrity of the leaders and their communities. There can be no significant change in the culture of a community without its leader beginning by cultivating the character he or she wants to see in the rest of the community.

02

Redesign communities

Provide leaders with the learning and development necessary to design, implement and assess initiatives that make their centers true learning communities, where character development is a real priority. vLACE includes the development of a personalized long-term plan to transform the culture of their communities.

vLACE contents

vLACE also includes eight monthly assignments that include personal reflections, conducting surveys or questionnaires to each center's community. These assignments require an average dedication of 4 hours each, and some must be done in teams with other leaders of the center. The sum of these assignments is a medium-long-term plan to transform the culture of each community.
