It is mediated by a partnership with the provincial government
to articulate the experience in secondary schools in the city
that wish to incorporate this exercise in direct democracy as
part of their curriculum.
It is also implemented in the Neighborhood Social Centers, through
participation of members of youth social organizations.
At year's end, schools that so choose can become
headquarters of the voting process of the projects designed
by young people, allowing them to experience the practice of
a form of democracy that involves direct participation in the
decisions and actions of city management.
To carry out this partnership, the Youth Directorate of the Ministry of Social Promotion, produces
educational materials that guide the process in schools and
provides advisory teams to accompany principals and teachers
who lead the youth debates on the projects.
From 4 to 24 November 2013 voting took place in all districts
for the Participatory Budgeting for Youth –
2014 for selection of projects to be implemented in
2014 with a budget of 2,310,000 pesos [=283,470.47 US
dollars].
The initial stage of the Participatory Budgeting for Youth
– 2015 is now taking place for projects that will be
submitted to a vote at the end of the year.
