The Sils City Council has established the Children and Adolescents Council of Sils (CIAS), a new body designed to promote the active participation of young people aged 9 to 16 in municipal decision-making.

The CIAS will be composed of about twenty children and adolescents linked to Sils, whether they are students from 5th grade primary to 4th grade secondary in the municipality's educational centers or residents not enrolled in local schools. This council will meet quarterly, with the possibility of extraordinary meetings to organize activities and participate in community events.
Council members will be responsible for attending meetings, gathering demands, making proposals, and contributing initiatives to improve Sils from the perspective of children and adolescents, making the Council a creative space.
Children and adolescents aged 9 to 16 residing in Sils who are not enrolled in the municipality's educational centers can submit their candidacy until November 10, 2026, by means of a generic application addressed to the Sils City Council. A motivation letter must be attached. For students attending schools in Sils, participation will be channeled through election processes held within the schools themselves.
