The first session of the new academic year for the Cornellà Children's Council, for the 2026-27 term, took place on Thursday, October 8th, in the City Council's Plenary Hall. The new child councilors had the opportunity to visit and inaugurate the remodeled hall, a space they particularly enjoyed. During the meeting, the children used the hall's microphones, experiencing what it's like to be councilors while sharing their initial impressions.
The session was attended by the Councilor for Family Policies and Moral Progress, Gloria Recio Díaz, and Head Inma Muñiz, who welcomed the young representatives. The agenda included the distribution of folders, an explanation of the Children's Council's role, and a review of the previous year's activities. Veteran councilors, now in 6th grade, shared their experiences with the new members.
Preparations also began for the International Children's Day, celebrated on November 20th. The main activity of the afternoon was a participatory session on Children's Rights. Divided into four teams, the children debated and agreed on the rights they wish to prioritize throughout the year: the right to equality, protection, food, freedom and dignity, and the environment.
With this inaugural session, the Children's Council begins its work to give voice to children and strive to improve the city of Cornellà.
