The university extension, via essential for the preparation of the delegates of district like promoters of civic participation

Abstract

This text is related to the preparation of grassroots leaders to foster the development of participatory citizens under the conditions of building Cuban socialism in the third decade of the 21st century, as well as the essential role of universities in their training through university extension initiatives. The analysis is based on the priority given by the Constitution of the Republic to improving municipal work to achieve municipal autonomy. Here, the role of constituency delegates as promoters of citizen participation in leading the Integrated Community Work within their jurisdiction is decisive. The theoretical and social practice frameworks that highlight the deficiencies in the preparation of constituency delegates are presented. Additionally, tools are defined to enhance the training of constituency delegates in their role of promoting citizen participation within their jurisdiction.
