The young people from the Community Leaders project had a beautiful closing ceremony, a space for citizen participation where various social actors were present, such as the Community Action Board, the community, and territorial entities, to listen to and give their opinions on the young people’s community proposals to address some of the sector’s issues. Additionally, a cultural dance showcase was held, and diplomas were awarded to all Community Leaders as a symbol of their commitment to Human Rights and Citizen Participation.

This week, we began the follow-ups to update our database, which allows us to stay in touch with our beneficiaries. Additionally, we conducted academic follow-ups to verify the current enrollment status and promote school attendance.

This week, from the Community Leaders project, working groups were formed for the development of community proposals. This activity is part of an educational exercise that allows young people to put into practice what they have learned during the training process and to propose strategies to solve the issues they have encountered within their community.

Within the training workshops developed by the Community Leaders project, there is a recognition of public policies and social programs aimed at fulfilling the fundamental rights of youth in our country. The objective is to encourage their democratic participation to improve them every day.

This week, young people from the Community Leaders project shared the findings discovered in their community with an objective and practical vision to identify how the issues develop and who are the most affected.
