Youth Consultation Workshops in Honduras

The Youth Consultation Workshops in Honduras consisted of 11 meetings held in the year 2000. They were created as participatory spaces to understand the problems of the younger generations and find policy solutions. As a result of these workshops, the "Initiatives for Public Policies for Youth" document was produced. It was drafted by more than 500 young community representatives. It included the problems of the Honduran youth, their causes, and possible solutions. The consultation workshops constituted a platform for the discussion of issues that concerned the youth such as family disintegration, housing, health, education, employment, recreation, poverty, youth gangs (Maras), and interfamily as well as social violence, among others. The critical analysis of this problems represented the cornerstone for the elaboration and validation of the Framework for Public Policies of the Youth, which was then shared and analyzed by the different sectors of society.
