The constitution ceremony for the Montmeló Children's Council for the 2026-2027 academic year took place last Tuesday, October 6th, in the Sala de la Concòrdia. The session was presided over by the mayor and the councilor for children's affairs.
Twelve of the fourteen elected children attended the meeting. These members were chosen through elections held in the 5th and 6th-grade classes of the municipality's two primary schools. Six are new this year from 5th grade, while eight continue from last year in 6th grade.
The Council for local participation of children and adolescents of Montmeló is a stable, consultative body designed to promote the participation of the municipality's youth. Its function is to reflect, formulate, and propose opinions and suggestions on local issues affecting children.
Council members convey proposals to their respective schools, where children can express their opinions and participate in votes. Subsequently, the results of these votes are collected.
The presidency of the Children's Council falls to the mayor of the municipality, and the vice-presidency is held by the councilor for education or youth and children's affairs.
Following its official establishment, the Montmeló Children's Council will hold a monthly working session until the end of the academic year to discuss and develop its first public proposals.
