The Redes Project had the following main objectives: to form national and international networks for the dissemination and promotion of sustainable development, thereby creating a platform for collaboration and dialogue among various social actors; to engage Costa Rican youth in discussions on relevant topics such as sustainable development, the future of the country, major national challenges, and the contributions of high technology in these fields; and to facilitate the formation of new young leaders in the realms of democracy and sustainable development, ensuring that future generations are equipped to assume civic responsibilities.

The project faced several challenges, among which the following stood out. There was a notable political apathy among citizens, especially among young people, toward development issues and participation in public life. Moreover, the formation of youth leadership was identified as an urgent need, as it is fundamental to prepare young people to assume leadership roles in future civic and social challenges. Additionally, a lack of coordination among youth programs limited the ability to maximize the efforts of the various organizations working on these issues.

To address these challenges, the Redes Project developed a series of activities centered on creating a social network among youth organizations, promoting the exchange of experiences and knowledge. The main activities included the establishment of a social network among organizations working with youth to generate a space for collaboration and communication; the design of an information system and communication network to facilitate access to and dissemination of information among young people and the participating organizations; and the establishment of relationships with other international organizations to share information and experiences, with the goal of developing attractive and innovative programs for youth.
