Resume:
IMCITIZEN promotes the identity of democratic citizenship of girls and boys as active and committed members of their municipalities and identifies strategies that favor the increase of citizen initiation rates, decision-making and commitment in the mechanisms of child participation. It also seeks systemic changes so that child participation mechanisms have a significant impact on public policies and the education of children’s civic and democratic identity through child citizen participation platforms.
