This Programme will facilitate access to decent employment by improving the employability and entrepreneurialism of young people between the ages of 15 and 24, especially those from rural areas, women, migrants and those in a vulnerable situation.

The Programme promotes the cultural and social inclusion of marginalised groups and the potential for production of the creative sector and takes as a starting point La Libertad Park, a space for artistic, ecological and cultural-production related projects, which will serve 15 marginalised districts in the country’s largest built-up urban area; comprising 700,000 inhabitants (29% of the Greater Metropolitan Area and 16.5% of the country).

The proposal seeks to improve the Cantonal Security Index in nine of the least safe cantons by simultaneously reducing levels of fear and violence, and in so doing turning these cantons into communities without fear.
