To explain, listen, and support municipalities and comarcal councils within this new framework of public intervention in youth matters, the Directorate General of Youth organized in-person information sessions throughout October. These meetings outline the new model's characteristics and upcoming steps.
On Friday, October 30th, approximately forty technical professionals and elected officials involved in youth policies within the region gathered at the headquarters of the Consell Comarcal del Baix Llobregat. The session, chaired by the comarcal youth counselor, Víctor Flores Echavarri, was opened by the Director General of Youth, Clara Quirante Soriano. Quirante emphasized that the model change will primarily bring greater stability, recognition, and administrative simplification.
The financial resources allocated for this delegation are increased to 11.7 million euros for all of Catalonia, with funding guaranteed for the next decade and reviews at least every five years. Representatives from the Territorial Coordination of Youth in Barcelona clarified the direct impact of the new framework on the municipalities of Baix Llobregat and outlined the next steps for accepting the delegation and implementing its functions.
Following the presentation, a Q&A session was held for attendees to voice their doubts. For further information, please contact joventut@elbaixllobregat.cat.
