A new initiative for the Lleida youth
The city of Lleida has started an exciting project to choose four young references who will play a key role in key events such as the Festa Major. This proposal, presented by Councilor Xavi Blanco, seeks to value the diversity and talent of local youth.
Who can be a young reference?
The program is aimed at young people between the ages of 18 and 25 who live in Lleida or have a significant connection with the city. It aims to identify individuals with various concerns that can serve as a model to follow in fields such as research, culture, sport and social activism.
A paradigm shift in youth representation
According to Blanco, this initiative represents an evolution of the traditional figures of heirs and heirs, focusing on the importance of young people as vital assets for the community. “We want young people to be visible throughout the year,” said the councilor.
Role and training of young referents
The chosen ones will not only act as ambassadors of Lleida, but will also participate in events such as the opening speech of the Festa Major and other youth, cultural and solidarity activities. In addition, they will receive training in skills such as leadership and communication, allowing them to contribute effectively to their community.
An opportunity for the youthful voice
Blanco has encouraged all young people to submit their nominations, emphasizing that this is an ideal time to make their voice heard and to actively contribute to the development of Lleida. The program, coordinated by Lleidajove with the support of various departments, seeks to promote the participation and contributions of young people.
