The 5th version of the Concausa was held in 2021 during the second semester.
Despite the complexities derived from the COVID19 crisis and the impossibility to organize a face-to-face meeting, this year 253 applications were received from teams from all over Latin America and the Caribbean.
All the submitted projects went through an evaluation process in order to determine which teams would participate in the Local Encounters organized by América Solidaria. One of the novelties of this version was the organization of local meetings even in those countries where there were no offices of América Solidaria.
In total, 175 teams participated in the local meetings, which is equivalent to 519 adolescents from 17 countries. Of the total number of adolescents who participated in the meetings, the vast majority were concentrated in 4 countries: Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Chile. In contrast, there were no teams from countries like Honduras and Haiti.
Regarding the SDGs chosen by the adolescents participating in Local Meetings, a predominance of objective n°4 and n°3, Quality Education and Health and Well-being, respectively, is observed. 70 of the 175 projects opted for one of these two SDGs. It is followed by SDG 13, Climate Action, 5, Gender Equality, 10, Reduction of Inequalities, and 2, Zero Hunger.
