The Huesca City Council, in collaboration with the Ibercaja Foundation, has launched an innovative initiative titled «What Young People Really Think.» This project aims to give voice to the youth of the city, allowing them to express their needs and proposals for the future of Huesca. The initiative is part of the Talent Tour, which begins its journey in Huesca on February 23.
On February 17, a preparatory session took place with the participation of 23 young people aged between 16 and 18 years. These youths, coming from various educational institutions, gathered in an Ideathon, a collaborative activity that enabled them to share their concerns about the future of the city. During the session, they transformed their worries into concrete proposals in areas such as education, employment, mental health, and recreation.
This participatory approach reverses the traditional scheme, where adults typically dictate the actions to be taken. On this occasion, the young people are the protagonists, sharing their visions and needs to improve their environment.
Presentation of Proposals and Intergenerational Dialogue
On February 24 at 6:30 PM, a feedback session will be held at the Manuel Benito Moliner Cultural Center. This event, which is part of the official agenda of the Talent Tour, will be open to the public and will allow young people to present their proposals. Additionally, a feedback space and open microphone will be provided to encourage intergenerational dialogue.
The public presentation aims not only to showcase the ideas of young people but also to generate a constructive exchange with parents, teachers, businesspeople, and public officials, who are invited to attend and contribute through active listening.
A Legacy for the Future of Huesca
The initiative «What Young People Really Think» is not an isolated event; it aspires to become a permanent legacy of the Talent Tour in Huesca. The city thus seeks to foster an environment where young voices are heard and considered in planning their future. This project represents a significant step toward including new generations in decision-making processes that directly affect their futures.
