Dosquebradas, Instituto Técnico de

image by Ivan Sache, 27 November 2018

Instituto Técnico de Dosquebradas (Risaralda Department) was established in 1979 by Liliana Restrepo Arenas and Alfredo Hoyos Mazuera. The school's management was transferred in 1995 to the Frisby Foundation.
http://itd.edu.co/
Institute website

The flag of Instituto Técnico de Dosquebradas is blue with a white triangle placed along the hoist and charged with the school's coat of arms. King blue is associated with marvelous dreams and deep aspirations; it represents an invitation to consolidate our soul and heart to build a more human world. White indicates that every moment is a new opportunity to clarify our commitment as integral part of cosmos. It is the permanent quest for peace and pacific coexistence, it is the clear, good side of people required to build a more happy planet. Blue and white form a didactic trilogy with the coat of arms.

The coat of arms features a book, as a beautiful evidence of human transcendence. The book is inscribed "VALOR - CIENCIA" (Valor - Science), which means that the human being shall create, with responsibility and ethic, to the profit of the community's development and its perpetuation over generations. The triangle represents the education's trilogy, expected to educate free and autonomous people:
- trilogy of the living principle and education's rational (House - School - Society);
- exemplar trilogy of the profile of a committed and transcendent citizen (Student - Teachers - Parents);
- essential trilogy of human development (To be - To know - To know how to be);
The superimposed unfinished triangle represents the irrefutable manifestation of constant change, of transmutation, of fictitious character of end results... Constant change towards new and constructive. The figures that "devour" the superimposed triangle represent eagerness to learn and scientific practice, which are fundamental aspects of the profile of the human being in the new millennium.
