The San Bartolomé City Council has presented the 'Youth Decides' project, which explains that it encompasses "three fundamental action programs, such as community, mental health and leisure," and includes the intervention of the municipality's educational and sociocultural centers.
'Youth Decides' is designed by the Youth Area team of the San Bartolomé City Council, made up of two social educators, two social integrators and two psychologists. "This project is divided into three different programs; 'Project Life', 'Project Let's Dynamize Together' and 'Project Kintsugi', which cover all the areas where young people develop," says the Councilor for Youth, Ana María Lopes.
With the 'Let's Dynamize Together Project', "new possibilities and channels of communication are promoted among students between 12 and 18 years of age, in order to improve coexistence by creating spaces within the educational community," explains the City Council.
For its part, the 'Kintsugi Project' aims to "promote mental health by eradicating stigmas and discrimination associated with people with problems of this type and providing tools for managing emotions in young people."
The general objective of 'Youth Decides' is to "generate spaces for social and cultural revitalization with activities and workshops, which will be held in the Youth Space of San Bartolomé and Playa Honda, and in the civic centers of Güime, Montaña Blanca and El Islote."
"For the City Council it is a priority to attend to and respond to the social and cultural needs of the youth of the municipality, since this is a sure bet for the future," concludes the mayor of San Bartolomé, Isidro Pérez.
