A total of 350 young people from different states of the country actively participated in decision-making and in the development of projects in their territories thanks to the National Training Plan La Comuna es Joven 2025.

Regarding this achievement, the president of the School for the Strengthening of Popular Power (EFPP), Atahualpa Lara, assured that creating a sense of belonging and empowering youth to promote the new model of the Communal State constitutes one of the main objectives of this training plan, the Ministry of Popular Power for Communes, Social Movements and Urban Agriculture reported on its website.

He also indicated that this initiative, promoted in August 2024 by the President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, through the Ministry of Popular Power for Communes, Social Movements and Urban Agriculture, “allowed young people between 13 and 30 years of age to debate, reflect and analyze everything from economic and social issues to specific political conjunctures.”

In this context, he stressed that the state of Barinas registered the highest participation in the courses of the Plan The Commune is Young and added that, with the support of the Landless Movement (MST) of Brazil and the Community Union, theoretical and practical contents were designed related to: Community Horizon, Communal Feminism, Internationalism, History of the Revolution, Internationalist Youth, History of Agriculture and the Seven Great Transformations.

Lara also stressed that since 2024 to date, seven advances of the Plan have been carried out in the states of Lara, Barinas, Guárico, Monagas and Apure, which has raised the level of political and ideological awareness of the participants, as well as strengthening their active incorporation into social projects aimed at improving living conditions in their communes and the construction of 21st century socialism.

In the same way, he pointed out that during the training process, community youth deepened their knowledge of ethics as a democratic and sovereign exercise, oriented to autonomy, social justice and the common good, based on participation and community organization, as well as on essential values such as transparency and honesty.

“Likewise, everything related to the communal economy was addressed, an essential tool for promoting production from the territory and where participants learn to make territorial diagnoses, recognize productive systems and detect opportunities to promote self-management.

He explained that “we worked on identity and symbolism, a topic that connects with our roots, history and sense of belonging”.
