Teams from Abriendo Caminos, an initiative of the Alvaralice Foundation, have been participating in a training called “I Decide to be a Champion”, from the ACDI/VOCA program: Alianzas Para la Reconciliación (PAR). This methodology aims to strengthen skills such as respect, empathy and trust in order to reinforce social change, to consolidate safe environments, and to reduce risk factors exposed by young people.
The “interrupters” of Abriendo Caminos will begin using the tools of “I Decide to be a Champion” to improve their work with the young people of Comuneros I and Charco Azul, supporting them in reducing risk factors and in helping them to access opportunities, with the goal of reducing violence within the territory.
