CONTENTS


The YMCA Youth Summit of the Americas 2017 had a total of 95 participants; young leaders who had the opportunity to share experiences, deepen their knowledge and develop leadership skills and competencies through the week. Participants will go on to strengthen their community work, mobilize other young people and increase their impact. Young staff and volunteers from 13 countries renewed their commitment to strengthening community inclusion, youth development, the work of the YMCA and incorporating a global perspective to the programs and activities of the Movement. The event was organized by the YMCA of Latin America and the Caribbean, Canada and the United States. The YMCA of Mexico was the host this year. Methodology and content were developed by a group of leaders from the three regions who worked to generate an interesting, dynamic and participatory program that would allow attendees to grow as leaders and form new international youth networks. This report recaps the main activities, as well as the outcomes that were accomplished during the week.

INTRODUCTION


Mexico is a country of contradictions and offers a very diverse perspective in many areas. Its people know how to respond and show their solidarity in the face of adversity and, above all, they stand out for their warmth and hospitality. YMCA of Mexico is a very good representative of that Mexican diversity and culture. In 2017, YMCA Mexico celebrated 125 years of existence. One of the best ways to celebrate this significant milestone was to receive a hundred of young people from the Americas and have been able to share some of the work and programs that they implement throughout the country. YMCA Mexico is seen as a model in many areas, both in Latin America and in the rest of the continent, with actions ranging from caring for the environment and raising funds to community work in rural and urban communities.

Defining social inclusion

Exposure to Community Inclusion

Actions to promote Community Inclusion

TOPICS


DEFINING SOCIAL INCLUSION Engaging with the Dimensions of Diversity to Understand Ourselves and Others

Individual Impact: Strengthening Community Inclusion and Engagement

Facilitators: Safaya Fawzi and Agneis Koenitz-Hudac, YMCA USA

Facilitator: Brenda Soriano, YMCA USA

In this workshop facilitators presented an update of the dimensions of diversity that were made by the YMCA of the USA and local YMCAs.

Attendees to this workshop discussed the history of the Long Beach YMCA on community development issues and how the Center known as the New American Welcome Center and the YMCA community schools build relationships and build community leaders.

These dimensions reflect demographic changes, perceptions and work related to diversity and inclusion in the United States and internationally. In the session, this tool was revised, which favored the conversation about different perspectives and reactions towards it. Model of community inclusion in the Eje Cafetero Facilitators: Carlos Correa and Juliana MarĂ­n, YMCA Colombia This workshop showed how the movement works in Colombia, which is the axis and the central focus of its action, which, unlike other movements, the movement works with the community. There was an opportunity for them to experience the true vocation of being part of the YMCA movement.

Guiding youth action towards the community Facilitator: Isaac ArĂŠvalo, YMCA Chile The workshop presented information that participants could compare it with their local realities and thereby sharpen criteria to establish new strategies when the established ones do not respond to institutional objectives. They also learned about the current state of youth reality and social impact of YMCA Temuco youth actions. Lastly, short, medium and long-term plans and strategies were built with regards to youth processes through group work.


EXPOSURE TO THE COMMUNITY INCLUSION The intersection between healthcare, social determinants of health and the YMCA

Weaving links. An experience of community inclusion in the ACJ-YMCA Medellín

Facilitator: Brie Davis, YMCA USA

Facilitators: Susana Marín Arango and Katherina Suaza Varelas, YMCA Colombia

This workshop explored opportunities to collaborate with other participants within and outside the YMCA to address the health needs of the population of the respective communities. The approach was to take advantage of the collective impact transformation potential.

This workshop presented an overview of how it is possible to build social nets in communities from the generation of links that enable transformation processes.

The information presented in the workshop will be relevant for communities that face any health problem of their population, from the prevention of violence to the prevention and management of chronic diseases. For All: Working with and adapting programs and services for diverse populations

The experience of YMCA Medellín was presented in which it has been possible to work from inclusion as a response to the needs of the community, which has found a place where they are accepted regardless of their conditions and opportunities for recognition and generation of opportunities for their participation in the social, political and economic life of the city. Finally, facilitators presented the current challenges of community inclusion and transformative actions to face these challenges.

Facilitators: Nicolle Wright and Lauren Carmack, YMCA USA

Community Inclusion: our YMCAs approach to fostering inclusion with Syrian refugees

In this workshop facilitators presented experiences working in the YMCA Camps area, (Y-Camp) and with the community development area and a dialogue was held regarding the services and programs offered are well adapted and accessible for all.

Facilitator: Luke Moyer, YMCA Canada This workshop discussed the challenge and the opportunity to involve Syrian refugees in the community. The question of how Syrians can best be helped to feel part of the culture without sacrificing their own beliefs was presented.


EXPOSURE TO THE COMMUNITY INCLUSION Adjusting participants perceptions/programs to be more inclusive in their communities Facilitator: Lindsay Martin, YMCA Canada In this workshop dialogue was facilitated to understand the meaning of community inclusion and how it is seen from different perspectives. In the same way, participants were asked to understand how sometimes people are not aware that some situation may be exclusionary for an individual or for a group, and above all, the participants were made aware of the inclusion within their own community.


ACTIONS TO PROMOTE COMMUNITY INCUSION Sociocultural animation, dynamics and recreational songs Trauma-Informed Care Approaches Facilitator: Jennifer Miller, YMCA USA This workshop provided a complete understanding of the effects of trauma on young people, shared practical ideas to deal with trauma when working with young people, as well as taking advantage of their own personal care to improve the quality of services. Youth Integration Facilitators: Ariel Ercoli and Diego Bustos, YMCA Chile This workshop showed a bit of what the different populations of Chile and the world in general live in, in addition to presenting the work of YMCA with young people with some addiction or family problems, in order to help them to insert themselves into society , providing support in a personal, family and community aspects. All this is done so that the young person feels the social support and can identify with the YMCA. The use of sport such as Parkour, Basketball and Baby Soccer was presented as help tools, so that the young person feels the necessary confidence to tell their problems and receive the necessary support.

Facilitator: Claudia Portocarrero, YMCA Peru This workshop presented theoretical and ludic tools and through games and dynamics participants can reach the different communities encouraging participation, integration and learning through experience. It was explained that the game allows knowing oneself and others, learning, developing social skills, relating to the environment and to others. Expanding our Y community into rural communities Facilitator: Janine Thompson, YMCA Canada In this workshop facilitator explained how to reach smaller communities discovering what needs are there. An experience was presented on how the YMCA launched a series of programs in a rural community and how the needs of the community were identified as well as the tools used.


FAMILY GROUPS This year was the second one to implement Family Groups. They are work teams formed by participants of the event, focused on reflecting, self-questioning and sharing points of view in smaller groups helping to maximize participation and have a closer experience between participants. The structure of the Family Group consists in assigning a facilitator, a guide, support questions and the task of guiding and motivating the group to fulfill the objectives of the program or event. The facilitator is another participant, with a special assignment to work together with the members of their group.
