Bringing Youth to Healthy Living
Bringing Youth to Healthy Living is an innovation implemented in the city of Parral since 2014. It creates spaces of participation for young people with the aim of working together and bridging the gap between the health sector and the youth. The process begins with the formation of a health advisory council in which the needs are detected and leaders are identified. Participatory activities are organized, from festivals and art competitions to workshops, where young people can interact with each other and with the community. The end result of the project is the "Healthy House", a fixed space for adolescents of the municipality to meet one another. There, it is possible to exchange experiences that have a positive impact on young people. Furthermore, health teams can receive feedback on how to work with this group.
