Youth Articulation Space
The Youth Articulation Space is a scenario in which different youth organizations come together to coordinate and articulate the different expressions and perspectives on issues related to youth. The first Space was created in 2010 in the department of Atlántico, with development mainly in its capital Barranquilla, and the second Space was created in the city of Cartagena de Indias in 2012, the product of a march that demanded that the young people be heard and that the campaign commitments regarding the problems and rights of the youth in Cartagena be fulfilled. The Youth Articulation Space is based on diversity, plurality and inclusion and seeks to enable young people to have a social, political and economic participation and impact, beyond mere consultation. In these spaces, young people have developed and shared their perspectives and initiatives, and have also presented them to district and departmental organizations and authorities.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
