Voices from my Neighbourhood
Voices from my Neighbourhood is one of the initiatives incubated in the Saying and Doing platform, emerged in mid 2017, in the slums of the city of Montería, Córdoba, as a mapping tool to identify the main problems, potential solutions, and youth leaderships that drive change at the local level. This group of young people, aware of the ineffectiveness of public policies focused on youth, proposed a mapping of the young population in Montería, in order to connect young activists and their initiatives with decision makers. The Voices from my Neighbourhood team developed a survey, collected information from three neighborhoods, and mapped 133 initiatives, 22 leaders, and a set of policy priorities based on information provided by local youth. The information was used as a tool to advance a political agenda from and for Montería's youth. Voices from my Neighbourhood was one of the experiences presented in the framework of the international conference Build Peace 2017.

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
