Celebramos el Día de Acción de la campaña global “No somos un riesgo” con el taller de formación “Estrategias para el cambio de narrativas”, un espacio en el cual se encontraron juventudes diversas, activistas y constructoras de paz, con el objetivo de conocer, dialogar y aprender sobre las acciones colectivas y el poder del arte para transformar las narrativas que criminalizan e invisibilizan a las juventudes.
