Children and Adolescent Councils
The basic way to involve boys and girls in city decisions are the territorial Councils for Children and Adolescents, based on the determinations of the convention on the Rights of the Child, approved by the United Nations in 1989.
This is the stable structure of participation, based on the determinations established by local entities so that all boys and girls of a certain age group have a voice in the council.
Estel, following the line initiated by Urbanins team in 2017, is committed to a structure based on the maximum representativeness of the educational community that allows for the elaboration of a shared diagnosis of the municipality, and the elaboration of proposals so that they can be applied from the city council, jointly with the different departments involved.
Estel advises several municipalities with the desire to start and consolidate them, so that they become another tool for child participation from now on, as well as to energize them in those that already have it underway.
One of the values that we provide is the technical point of view on urban planning in the structures of citizen participation and the possibility of involving councilors in processes of co-design of public space or other urban transformations that are underway in the municipality.
