In November 2024, as the National Civic Movement (MCN), we organized a Citizen Dialogue to evaluate the first year of President Bernardo Arévalo's government. This space allowed young people to express their opinions, analyze government performance, and debate the challenges and opportunities facing Guatemala.
As members of the MCN, we are aware that civic engagement and citizen participation are fundamental pillars that can be carried out in different ways. One of these is through reforestation and outreach to communities in need, which is why, for the penultimate Civic Day of the year, members mobilized to reforest in San Juan Alotenango.
At the National Civic Movement (MCN), we believe that leadership is built on knowledge, practice, and commitment. That is why this year we held eight editions of our Leadership School, an exclusive space for MCN members, designed to strengthen their skills and foster their impact in their communities.
2024 marks a significant milestone for the Civic National Movement (MCN) Member Program: the Program has reached 300 young people. This achievement reflects our commitment to promoting republican values and civic education in Guatemala.
Venezuela is in crisis. The National Civic Movement held another session of Civic Chronicles on August 13 to inform young people about the current situation faced by Venezuelan citizens after the election results presented on July 28.
Together with Congressman Cristian Álvarez and the members of the National Civic Movement, we sought to develop a conversation to identify the necessary steps to uncover the Collective Education Pact.
