Colombia Resuena

The generation leading the change

What is it?

Together with the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a project was implemented to empower youth as agents of change to build a more participatory, inclusive and collaborative country. Efforts focused on participation in the 2022 elections, minimizing the effects of polarization and misinformation in Colombia, and subsequently, learning to advocate in the local development plans of the cities of Bogota and Cali.

Letters that bring

A practical guide to depoliticize environments that compiles different lessons learned from Movilizatorio’s research and experience on polarization and disinformation. The objective is to enable citizens to approach difficult conversations in a constructive way and reach agreements.

Challenge

Empowering young citizens in a context of hopelessness about the future, distrust in leadership, misinformation and polarization.

Strategy

Taking advantage of critical moments before, during and after the 2022 legislative and presidential elections, we promoted better citizen participation in the elections, fostered youth leadership and sought to reduce the perception of polarization.
