CIVICS

The Childhood council

In Democracy all the voices should be heard! In Sant Boi, from 2015, our children and teenagers can participate in our city Childhood council, the citizen participation body that represents the children and teenagers of the city. This council is a participative organ that provides the students the opportunity to exercise their participation as citizens in aspects that directly affect them, for example they have been working cooperatively with the municipal architect in the design of the future parks of the town, building mailboxes to involve other children in the commitment to improve the spaces of the city and meeting the mayor of the city, Lluïsa Moret. Besides, their members also take part in special moments as the lightning of Christmas lights of the town.

Two representatives of our school, one from the fourth grade and another from the fifth level, participate in a council meeting once a month. In these meetings the students participate actively giving their ideas to improve the city, reaching agreements and transmitting their classmates’ proposals or ideas. They become more responsible citizens and convey their enthusiasm to others.
