The leader of the Cuban Revolution Fidel Castro Ruz fully trusted in the decisive role of young people in the development of society and sustainability of the Revolution.

Precisely in one of his speeches he expressed : «And to this youth we must speak, we must exhort this youth, we must educate this youth, we must orient it, we must forge it; we must make of this youth what we all dream of for the future, we must make of this youth what we all dream that the people of tomorrow will be, the new generations of the Homeland; we must make of this youth what we all would have liked to be, what we all would have liked to live with you; we must make of this youth, simply, the future».
