City Council of Adolescents

On the 30rd of November, 27 teenager students from the high schools of the Municipality of Farkadona will become City’s Teen Councilors, in the virtual rolls of Administration, Opposition and Civil Society. For the third year running, the annual meeting of the City Council of Adolescents will be held in the framework of the European Local Democracy Week activities. The meeting of the City Council of Adolescents will be held in a public celebratory event, which will be attended by the Mayor of Farkadona, the Deputy Mayor for Education, Councilors, parents, teachers, citizens. The discussion will be moderated by the chairman of the City Council of Farkadona. The topic of discussion in which teenagers’ consultants will be invited to discuss this year will be “Children and youth participation and commitment”. This is an introduction to the bottom-up procedures which must be the main tool in the local development policy and strategic planning. Specifically, the pupil’s council will give them the opportunity to enhance democratic consciousness through creative discussion. Additionally, through this process, teenagers will discuss about their decisions that influence their lives both at individual and collective level. Furthermore, the meeting is a first-class opportunity to attract adults’ attention. In conclusion, we hope that the teenager consultants will expand their horizons to making right decisions with greater participation in local community.
