Increasingly the formation and development of Youth Networks and/or in Youth is growing, understanding by these, the articulations, horizontal, flexible and dynamic group coordinations, organizations and/or people, in this case of young people and/or on youth. There are several experiences in the region, each one of them with processes, organizational models, operative styles and very different thematics. There are conjunctural networks for the development of any action or group of particular actions but there are also other networks, more permanent. There are networks focused on the information, others in the creation of reflection spaces, others are structured to develop particular national or international actions. There are many networks that make privilege spaces out of this spaces of young men or on youth, in order to promote actions, information, solidarity, cooperation, etc. The networks allow to perform in a more flexible and agile way, different activities among persons and/or groups of young people, causing synergisms that increase –in general- the dynamic generated by the actors involved themselves. The Portal intends to be a support instrument to the novel and growing creation of youth networks in different topics, offering support with direct services and promoting actions arranged among networks and the Latin American and the Caribbean Youth Portal.
