Abstract

In this section of Voces y Regiones, the interviewee, a member of the Poder Mestizo collective, discusses the organization of youth communities and their role in transforming the territory. He highlights the importance of creating spaces for active participation, where young people can empower themselves and contribute to the development of their community. Through various activities, the collective seeks to foster youth leadership and strengthen cultural identity, promoting initiatives that encourage a sense of belonging and social responsibility. These efforts not only aim to integrate young people into community processes but also equip them with the tools to become agents of change in their environments. The work of Poder Mestizo reflects the commitment of young people to building a more inclusive, equitable, and participatory society, where new generations play a key role in social transformation.
