The Town Council of Los Montesinos has introduced its first Municipal Youth Plan, designed to address the needs and aspirations of the local youth community. This four-year plan, developed by Youth Technician Basilia Valero, aims to foster participation among young people whilst integrating local youth policies. The initiative is part of the commitment made when the municipality joined the Xarxa Jove in two thousand twenty-three.
Councillor for Youth, María Hurtado, emphasises that an inclusive methodology underpins the plan, which centres around proposals made by local youth. The plan acknowledges the significant role of both the Administration and social agents in crafting a holistic life project for young people aged between twelve and thirty.
Hurtado highlights the importance of identifying the main needs, challenges, and aspirations of youths through a thorough prior diagnostic analysis, thereby ensuring that the plan is realistic and considers local, regional, national, and international resources.
Mayor José Manuel Butrón expresses that the approval of this plan signifies a commitment to the youth and represents a vital investment in the future of Los Montesinos. The aim is to provide a platform for young people to feel heard, valued, and to freely develop their skills while accessing educational, cultural, sports, social, and job opportunities.
