Youth social and civic initiatives in Catalonia

Overview

In Barcelona, the City Council has launched an initiative titled ‘Fem la Barcelona de la teva vida’, inviting children and adolescents between the ages of 8 and 17 to join the Consell dels Infants. This citizen participation body is intended to gather proposals from minors to influence urban planning and city development.

In broader Catalonia, social programs are addressing youth education and professional growth. The Mentora program in Terrassa, led by the Equitat.org foundation, is entering its fourth edition to provide adult mentors for adolescents at risk of dropping out of school. Additionally, the ‘Beques Joves Talents’ scholarship program, a collaboration between Aigües de Barcelona and the Confederation of Neighborhood Associations of Catalonia (CONFAVC), is marking ten years of providing university scholarships to talented students with limited economic resources, particularly in STEM fields.
