Engage for Good

Engage for Good at the BestCities Global Forum

At this year's Global Forum we collectively will be raising funds for Centro de Formación y Promoción de Danza Clásica Isaac y Esteban Hernández. You will earn points by engaging prior, during and after the event and the more points we accumulate as a group the more funds will go towards  Centro de Formación y Promoción de Danza Clásica Isaac y Esteban Hernández

We will also be recognising the most engaged participant during Global Forum, so let's all engage for good!

Centro de Formación y Promoción de Danza Clásica Isaac y Esteban Hernández 

Through Engage for Good we will be supporting Centro de Formación y Promoción de Danza Clásica Isaac y Esteban Hernández at this year's forum. 

Isaac and Esteban Hernández Classical Dance Training and Promotion Center — also known as Centro Relevé A.C. —was founded with the mission of offering classical ballet training to children and young people, especially those from vulnerable backgrounds, in order to provide them with a cultural and personal development alternative that helps them steer clear of violence, drug addiction, crime, or unproductive leisure. Under the academic direction of Héctor Hernández — a former professional dancer with an international career — the center teaches a rigorous methodology that seeks to maximize the technical and artistic abilities of its students in a short amount of time, combining discipline, technical excellence, and comprehensive training.

The center has achieved levels of excellence: several of its students have gained admission to internationally renowned ballet companies and schools—demonstrating that its training can open real professional doors in dance. In addition to offering regular classes for various levels (from beginner to professional), the center organizes intensive programs—such as pre-professional courses—and promotes the HH Youth Ballet ensemble, providing opportunities for stage performance, visibility, and experience for young dancers.

  • Their projects include free municipal ballet schools in Jalisco. The first one opened in 2013 in the municipality of Tlajomulco de Zúñiga.
  • They currently maintain multiple locations: not only in Tlajomulco, but also in Guadalajara—with several locations under the supervision of the head teacher.
  • Centro Relevé has more than 300 regular students

How will it work?

We have setup goals and points linked to these goals in our event management system. Once you complete a goal, these points will be tallied by the system to your point total. Through the attendee app you will be able to see how many points you have collected, what goals there are, which goals you have achieved and you will be able to see a top 10 leaderboard.

The height of the donation to the Centro de Formación y Promoción de Danza Clásica Isaac y Esteban Hernández would be determined by the accumulated points by our group:

0 - 25,000 points = Donation of $500

25,001 - 75,000 points = Donation of $1,000

Over 75,001 points = Donation of $2,500
