PERALTA-DUQUE, Beatriz del Carmen. The participation of young people in the Youth Public Policy, 1997-2011 (Caldas, Colombia). Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2016, vol.14, n.2, pp.1249-1272. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.14225110815.

This article analyses the political participation of young people in youth public policies in the department of Caldas (Colombia) based on their constitutional rights and socio-political, economic and cultural conditions between the creation of Law 375 of 1997 until 2011. The methodology involved case studies in the municipalities of Manizales, Palestina, Chinchiná, Neira and Villamaría, forming the southern central region of Caldas. The techniques used included direct observation and analysis of new articles, focus groups, in-depth interviews and surveys. The results showed that young people participating in Youth Groups and Clubs and Culture Houses turn their practice of arts and interest in ecology into participation spaces more than the Municipal Youth Councils. The study also found that school governments encourage student participation while the Catholic Church and the MIRA political movement promote youth participation.
