From October 29 to November 1, a total of 38 young people from the 2008 Generation (G-2008), from the Abedul Club, Albufera Association, El Vado Club, Alerce Club and Peñalem Club, met for the first time to perform two stages of the French Camino de Santiago and learn, through this experience, the values and skills that a young person needs to positively impact our society.
In this context, making this route of the Camino de Santiago has also been configured as the propitious framework to launch, one more year, the “Leave Your Mark” initiative, promoted by the Social Promotion Foundation in collaboration with youth associations with which maintains a collaboration agreement. It is a collaborative space where young women can share ideas and actions to change the world from their own environment.
For its presentation, the workshop ‘I want to be a protagonist of change’ was given, by Olalla Pita, Co-leader and Product Manager of “Talentum Youth”.
And it is that, among the objectives of this Project, it is pursued that young women are able to detect the needs of others and provide concrete solutions within their reach, developing their first social Projects.
In turn, this initiative will help the volunteers (monitors) of the youth associations learn to lead training workshops that aim at the social commitment of the youngest and that each youth association becomes a space for raising awareness and social stimulation.
