On August 26, the first Walk for Youth took place in Mexico City, organized by #EslaRed, in collaboration with associations dedicated to working for youth. Some impressions of the event are listed below.

Paulina Sánchez / Social Expression for Comprehensive Treatment, AC

Hello. I am Paulina Sánchez. Well, we are very happy, the event was super cool. We came to this event and we managed to get several attendees to be the first of many events that we do for and by the youth, and that every day there are more institutions that join this project in favor of the youth. We hope to see you on future occasions and we are the Network.

Luis González, Vice President of Social Expression for Comprehensive Treatment

The truth is that this meeting was very cool. We are very happy that many associations were able to participate on this occasion and that many more can emerge from this activity. Thank you very much.

Danae Domínguez, member of Young Community Builders

Hello, my name is Dánae Domínguez. The parade was really cool. Above all, it made the presence of young people in Mexico and Mexico City more visible.

Giovanna Villafuerte, educator of Young Community Builders

Hello, my name is Giovanna Villafuerte. Today we are holding a march for youth. But I think it is very important that we do this to make ourselves known because there are several associations that are making the problems that young people have very visible, such as the lack of decent employment, such as the sensitivity of education. So with this we make ourselves seen in a positive and striking way, so it is necessary to invite many more young people. Thank you very much and I hope to continue attending this type of event.

Hello, my name is Zaira Rocío. The truth is that my impression is that the event was very exciting.

It fills me with emotion, I really liked it and thank you very much for this commemorative event.
