In the TEDxUAndina talk “Enseñando Se Aprende” (Learning by Teaching), speaker Yanet Castro shares her insights and experiences on the power of teaching as a tool for personal growth and learning. She emphasizes the idea that the act of teaching not only benefits the learner, but also the one who is doing the teaching.
Through personal anecdotes and reflections, Castro illustrates how teaching others has helped her deepen her understanding of subjects, develop empathy and communication skills, and gain a sense of fulfillment and purpose. She argues that teaching is a reciprocal process in which both the teacher and the student can learn from each other.
Castro challenges the audience to consider the role of teaching in their own lives and how they can harness the power of education to transform not only themselves, but also their communities. Ultimately, “Enseñando Se Aprende” encourages viewers to embrace teaching as a path to personal growth and lifelong learning.
