The activity is consolidated as an instance of effective articulation. This platform allows young people to directly influence decisions that impact their environment and the development of their communities.

At the end of the tour of the exhibitions, the mayor of the Simón Bolívar municipality, Sugey Herrera, listened carefully to the proposals of the youth leaders and confirmed her unwavering commitment to this strategic sector.
