Afro-Uruguayan Youth Meetings
From 2005 to 2010 an Afro Affairs Consultancy was established in the National Institute of Youth (INJU). The consultancy was created in order to promote the political participation of the Afro youth and to generate debates to hear their concerns and needs. As a result, different regional and national meetings were organized. Thematic areas included: work, education, social participation and politics, gender and housing and culture. The debate spaces led to different conclusions and also concrete demands. These debates were reflected in different results, as in concrete projects with state and departmental municipal institutions. One of the most important consequences was that the results served as an input for the National Youth Plan 2011-2015.
