Uruguayan Youth Council
The Uruguayan Youth Council had the purpose of representing young Uruguayans in the design of policies, allowing them to make proposals on youth policies. The Council was meant to be a space where young people could freely express their opinions, debate, have a voice and influence in decision making, generating proposals and actions to improve the reality of youth in the country. The Council was made up of young people between 14 and 29 years of age, who were elected through departmental roundtables convened for this purpose and represented their department.
