Abstract

This paper is structured around the experience of the Gazteen Gipuzkoa project within the framework of the Etorkizuna Eraikiz initiative. The project was carried out throughout 2018 in 25 schools of Gipuzkoa with the aim of promoting a culture of active participation among youth in the political decision making process. The case shown is a pilot project that seeks to give a voice and involve youth in the design of the territory's challenges. Young people should be the actors of the future and therefore should have a leading role in its definition.
