CONCAUSA

What is CONCAUSA?

It is an initiative of CEPAL, UNICEF and America Solidaria, which has the collaboration of Fundación Caserta and the sponsorship of Preuniversity Pedro de Valdivia, which seeks to know and disseminate proposals for social innovation that adolescents and young people of America are developing in their communities, appropriating the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations and its Sustainable Development Goals, a set of global goals to eradicate poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all.

The selected participants will participate in an international meeting based in Santiago, Chile, during November 2019. During these days, they will share workshops and activities aimed at strengthening and developing their skills. The meeting ends with the presentation of the projects in a Meeting of Ideas to be held in the Raúl Prebisch salon of the ECLAC, in front of its peers and representatives of the United Nations, including ECLAC and UNICEF.
