This approach enriches academic debate and opens space for alliances among youth across regions, recognizing their practices as key drivers of territorial transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">#NextGenC\u2019s participation in CLACSO 2025 reaffirms its commitment to generating situated knowledge and amplifying the political contributions of youth in diverse urban contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/nextgenc.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1749685272922-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nextgenc.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1749685272922-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nextgenc.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1749685272922-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nextgenc.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1749685272922-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nextgenc.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1749685272922-15x12.jpg 15w, https:\/\/nextgenc.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1749685272922.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Durante la 10.\u00aa Conferencia Latinoamericana y Caribe\u00f1a de Ciencias Sociales (CLACSO 2025), el proyecto #NextGenC comparti\u00f3 hallazgos clave sobre c\u00f3mo las juventudes de ciudades intermedias colombianas est\u00e1n reinventando la participaci\u00f3n pol\u00edtica en entornos urbanos mediante el uso situado de tecnolog\u00edas digitales.
