Yesterday marked the official constitution of the new Children's Council, incorporating 11 council members from the 6th grade of schools across the region. This new body aims to give children a voice and foster their participation in municipal life.
The event was opened by the mayor of Sant Hipòlit de Voltregà, Gerard Sancho, and the mayor of Les Masies de Voltregà, Gil Codina. Both encouraged the new council members to gather ideas, listen to their peers, and work with enthusiasm to improve their municipalities.
During the session, the children shared their expectations and aspirations for this new challenge, which will allow them to make their voices heard and actively participate in municipal life.
The event concluded with a shared snack, celebrating the beginning of this new journey. The initiative highlights the importance of listening to children to build more participatory, inclusive, and future-oriented towns.
