Twenty young people from 17 countries in Latin America came together in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to showcase their final projects aimed at creating positive social and environmental impact in their communities. Launched by Nestlé and UNESCO in October 2023, the ‘Impulso Joven – Because Youth Matter’ program provides young people with the necessary resources and skills to develop and implement their novel solutions. This event marked the completion of the pilot in Latin America.
The changemakers, aged 18 to 30, were selected from a pool of over 900 applicants and received training, workshops, and mentoring from Nestlé and UNESCO’s experts to develop, implement, and expand their innovative projects. The program focused on three main themes: fostering climate action and sustainability (8 projects), reducing inequalities and promoting social inclusion and diversity (7 projects), and addressing mental health and wellbeing (5 projects).
