Objetivo Sostenibilidad! (OS!) is a program that combines education for development strategies and participatory democracy. Its objective is to work with children and adolescents, enhancing their role as agents for a global and supportive citizenship through participation actions in public policies to disseminate the SDGs. With a participatory and gender approach, the program establishes alliances between the local government, social organizations and children, fostering a democratic culture and community empowerment.
