Abstract

In this section of Voces y Regiones, the discussion focuses on the role of the Community Council of San Antero, Córdoba, in promoting youth participation and strengthening community leadership. The importance of the Youth Law is highlighted as a legal framework that recognizes the rights and responsibilities of young people, addressing structural issues such as access to education, employment, and political engagement. Additionally, culture is emphasized as a key factor in social development, fostering spaces where young people can express themselves and contribute proposals that benefit their community. In this context, community radio serves as a vital tool for inclusion, allowing youth voices to be heard and creating an open dialogue on local needs and potential solutions. Active youth participation in these spaces not only strengthens participatory democracy but also drives the development of more inclusive public policies aimed at the comprehensive growth of the community.
