On October 9, 2024, a consultative meeting was held within the framework of the project ” Place to Grow: Child friendly municipalities”. 30 students from primary and secondary schools in the municipality of Debar participated in this meeting.
The consultative meeting included an energetic discussion in which the children presented their thoughts, ideas, and daily needs, which they addressed to the municipality of Debar. Being very conscientious in their requests and ideas, they thoroughly explained all the demands and expectations for resolving the problems by the municipality.
The consultations with children aim to identify the key issues in the realization of children’s rights, to implement and motivate them to achieve the goals they express.
Based on the analysis of the needs expressed by the children in front of the panelists from all relevant institutions in Debar, a Strategic Plan for the improvement of children’s rights and their inclusion in local planning will be created.
