Youth Laboratories for Reflection and Citizen Participation
The Youth Laboratories for Reflection and Citizen Participation had 5 editions, which were held at the headquarters of the Benjamín Vicuña Mackenna Museum (MBVM), one of the organizing institutions. This is an event in which children and youth who study in schools in the city of Santiago participate, debating issues that affect them as both young citizens and city residents, and proposing solutions. At the same time, representatives of private sector institutions and civil society organizations are invited to work with the youth. The Laboratories seek to foster citizen participation among young people and the development of civic skills.
