Abstract

In this section of Voces y Regiones, the importance of community participation in promoting initiatives that benefit young people is highlighted. The discussion addresses the challenges in establishing effective dialogue with the municipal administration, which hinders the implementation of projects aimed at improving conditions for youth in the community. One key aspect of this effort is the promotion of culture as a tool for social transformation. Through activities like Cine al Parque, community members create spaces where socially conscious and civic-awareness films are screened. These initiatives not only encourage access to cultural experiences but also serve as platforms for discussion and reflection on local issues, fostering a more engaged and critical citizenry. Strengthening dialogue between the community and local authorities is essential to ensuring the development of projects that address the needs of young people, promoting inclusion, access to opportunities, and the reinforcement of social cohesion.
