The Yaiza City Council celebrates another year of its Childhood and Family Conference, a meeting that this 2024 celebrates 25 years of experience, always focused on the dissemination of the rights of minors and raising awareness of society about their respect and compliance through recreational activities and artistic expressions that also constitute a space for reflection and approach to the families of the municipality to know and address their opinions and concerns.
The mayor of Yaiza, Óscar Noda, announces that "this year the Conference resumes the tour of the different localities of the municipality because we understand that in this way we can spread the message more and better about the duty we all have, public administrations and the population in general, to ensure compliance with the rights of children, which ultimately translate into personal and social well-being."
Óscar Noda publicly highlights "the performance of the Social Services Area and all the silent work carried out by the Yaiza Municipal Minors Team, professionals absolutely dedicated to the protection of the rights of our minors. November arrives and we see the program of celebration of the Childhood and Family Conference, but the team's commitment to our neighbors is on a daily basis."
For her part, the Councilor for Social Services, Karina Centeno, encourages the families of the municipality "to participate in an attractive program of activities that promotes the imagination and creativity of our boys and girls, strengthens their learning process and brings together mothers, fathers, sons and daughters around art."
Puppets and storytelling
On Friday, November 15 (5:00 p.m.) the puppet show Dreamcatchers is scheduled, at the Benito Pérez Armas House of Culture in Yaiza, a 45-minute show aimed at children from 3 years old. Admission is free until full capacity is reached. Moonlight is a Dreamcatcher. Every night he enters through the windows into the rooms of boys and girls and tells them the dreams he has caught and that he collects on the trips he makes through space, while the moon revolves around Planet Earth.
On Friday, November 22 (5:00 p.m.) will be the day and time for the oral narration session The Three Little Wolves at the Playa Blanca Library. A musical storytelling that tells the story of three little wolves. Once upon a time there were three little wolves, with whom all the lambs played, and for all the little pigs they prepared a good stew. They were so loved in the entire forest that they even prepared surprise parties for them with care... This same interpreted story will travel through different points of the municipality as a way to bring reading in a playful way to boys and girls.
The first Childhood and Family Conference of Yaiza was held in 1998 with two objectives, on the one hand, to commemorate International Children's Day, and on the other, to publicize the creation of the Municipal Minors Team that was created in Yaiza after the approval of Law/1997, of February 7, on Comprehensive Care for Minors.
