Coordination Space of Initiatives for the National Youth Platform
The Coordination Space of Initiatives for the National Youth Platform (Span. ECIPNJ) was a scenario of dialogue between various youth organizations developed between 2009 and 2013, created to achieve a real impact in the decision making on the issues affecting the country's young people from the territorial to the national level. The main objective of the initiative was to build a national youth platform, containing all the initiatives, practices and aesthetics of young people in the territories. The ECIPNJ was based on diversity, plurality, autonomy, democracy and inclusion. The Coordination Space of Initiatives for the National Youth Platform managed the constitution of what has been called juvenile citizenship, which represents the possibility for young people to directly influence decisions by the State regarding their affairs. In this way, the ECIPNJ managed to legally institutionalize its initiatives originating from the social and cultural sphere, through the approval and sanction in the Congress of the Republic of the Statutory Law of Juvenile Citizenship.
