Youth Weaving Ties AC

About

One of the fundamental axes of our organization is the “Street Football” Social Intervention Model. This methodology contributes to the integration of different social sectors of the community, through the generation of spaces for inclusion and participation with sports, artistic and sociocultural activities. that promote the reaffirmation of values, the expansion of opportunities, the channeling of needs and demands, promoting public policies directed towards children, adolescence and youth. For young people, the forms of political participation take a different form from the traditional one, focused less on institutions and more on individuals, that is, preference is given in aid to individual subjects than to formal institutions or organizations. Instead of focusing on the fulfillment of civil obligations (such as voting or paying taxes), young people mainly value those behaviors that propose being in solidarity with the people of their own country and the rest of the world. We reject that youth be considered as a concept supported by stereotypes that identify young people with representations such as: “rebellion”, “crime”, “immaturity”, “strength”, “change”, among others. , these concepts are reproduced by official institutions such as the family, school, church, state institutions and are decontextualized and far from reality.
