To celebrate its 75th anniversary and establish the basis for future work, the W.W. Kellogg Foundation held a three-day conference to discuss its programmes with numerous partner institutions, youth activists, development practitioners, thinkers, and government and nonprofit leaders. During this conference, they explored the present context of development in Latin America and the Caribbean, along with factors that influence youth and their families. The Conference also analysed the role and profiles of organisations in the Latin American youth movement, including current trends in youth public policy. Also on the agenda were panel and group discussions, interactive methodologies, and arts and cultural engagement. Participants concluded the event by issuing a joint Call to Action. Papers from authors and thinkers who work with and within the region were at the core of the event. This publication includes those articles that were presented at this final meeting.
