During this Wednesday morning, Mayor Francisco Azcué led the presentation of the geolocation of the more than 140 educational and cultural workshops currently being held in different neighborhoods of Concordia.
The objective is to provide the community with training and capacity-building spaces that allow each resident to develop a project that begins by impacting their family nuclei primarily.
“This is the product of joint work that includes the location of the workshops in each branch office and each neighborhood so that everyone has access to the location and content of each one. This responds to a very important public policy that we are carrying out from our administration, which is human development. We bring the State to our citizens so that they can grow and develop a life project based on real opportunities,” affirmed Azcué.
The first objective is “to strengthen the family as the primary nucleus, generate opportunities, and foster citizen participation, which is why we are increasingly allocating more resources to education and culture, as well as to other areas of the Municipality that directly impact society.”
In Concordia “we have been victims of cultural destruction. Populism destroys what it touches and attacks the culture of work, effort, and merit, and we came to end that practice and change the paradigm. There are things that take longer than others because they require more resources, sometimes they are more complex, but I want to convey the peace of mind that we are doing what we said we were going to do and what the people voted for us to do.”
INCLUSION
Secretary of Human Development Sebastián Arístide recalled that the mapping is related to “the survey we conducted and where we began to sweep the dust from under the rug, making visible families that were absent and marginalized.”
Those life stories, now linked “to these spaces for culture and vocational education, have awakened hidden passions, seeking to add tools for inclusion. We want to train those families and convey a message to them: that they are not alone and that, through that hidden talent, they can begin to know where they stand.”
ANSWERS AND RESULTS
For his part, Undersecretary of Culture and Education Carlos Gatto highlighted that the initiative is a “collaborative effort between several areas, especially keeping the resident in mind, who is the one we must provide answers to.”
“Surely these spaces will not be enough, but it is a beginning to continue adding opportunities,” highlighting the very good reception that the implementation of the workshops has had since last May 5th in each of the 12 branch offices.
INTERACTION
Vice Mayor Magdalena Reta de Urquiza, after highlighting the implementation of the workshops, pointed out that the Deliberative Council has implemented the “The Council in your Neighborhood” Program, where “what we want is to interact with the citizen so that they know what their duties, obligations, and their relationship with the municipality are.”
“As the Mayor said, with so many years of populism, people are used to only receiving, but this is an organized city where we also have our share of responsibility, and therefore that will be an important task that we are going to begin to develop” as one more action that comes to strengthen the presence of the State in different sectors of the community.
Finally, Councilwoman Silvina Ovelar affirmed that the actions related to culture and education “are beginning to yield results and impact schools, families, and the environment of each of them.”
The event was attended by the Director of Education Nélida Aman, the Director of Culture Daniel Bogado, the coordinator of Cultural Workshops Marianela Izaguirre, council members, neighborhood representatives, and workshop instructors.
