The Ministry of Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory held on 27, 28 and 29 at the headquarters of the CEULAJ (Euro-Latin American Youth Center) in Mollina, Malaga, the conference “Young people and students in the Administration Near You”, the first organized to adapt the services offered by the General Administration of the State (AGE) in the territory to the young population, specifically to the one who is closest to the age of majority.
During these days, young people from all over the national territory have been able to discuss the construction of public institutions close to citizenship, as well as innovation and youth participation for democratic strengthening. The Ministry has collected the reflections, ideas and proposals presented by the participants to study how to bring the services of the AGE in a real and full way.
In this way, the Ministry of Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory will reorganize these days in the rest of the territories, with the collaboration of the Government Delegations and Subdelegations, to consolidate the participation of citizens close to the age of majority, facilitate their access to administrative services and design with them and them tools that improve their full accessibility.
Preparation of the sessions and next steps
These days are the result of a previous work of the Ministry with the student associations, the Youth Council of Spain, the parents’ associations, the State School Council, representatives of young people with disabilities, the Government Delegations and all the Ministries to identify which services of the AGE are of special interest to the younger population and then present them in an attractive, close and understandable way.
Specifically, after these days and during the coming months, employees and public employees of the AGE will visit educational centers to present young people between 16 and 18 years of age information on procedures, procedures, services, and public policies that may be useful to them at this vital moment and, thus, welcome them to the working age and adult age by presenting them to “your Administration”.
