Indigenous Youth

Indigenous young people of Latinamerica and the Caribbean, face a significant and unfair social discrimination, and often institucional.

Indigenous populations usually live in less accesible places, as mountainous regions, forests and their conditions of poverty and social exclusion are evident. Those who live on urban areas, deal with discrimination and acculturation problems.

Lots of indigenous young men, specially women, only speak their native language and find development difficulties on the prevalent culture. Education systems are not bilingual in general, this operates as another element of discrimination and exclusion for indigenous young people.
From the Portal we intend to promote the promotion of our town’s ancestral cultures, and a bigger dialogue and integration among young people from different cultures, on the perspective of acknowledgment and the respect for ethnic and cultural diversity of our region, value as patrimony to preserve.
