A new school year begins, and the IMCITIZEN Child Participation Platforms must now operate independently. It’s time to assess what we have achieved over nearly two years of hard work.
It’s exciting to face the challenge of granting autonomy to these newly formed participation groups in Mislata. Autonomy in child participation groups is essential because it fosters the development of key skills and values in children, while also strengthening their sense of belonging and responsibility within society.
Belonging to a child participation group not only gives children the power to make decisions but also serves as a vehicle for personal and social growth. Providing them with spaces where they can express themselves freely, participate, and make decisions helps them develop skills and attitudes that prepare them to be active, responsible, and critical citizens.
