The Coimbra Municipal Council will launch an initiative called "Citizens' Assembly," aimed at involving the city's young people in decision-making processes. The main objective is to create a space for participation where citizens can contribute to the definition of public policies aimed at new generations.
The mayor explained that the assembly will feature "people chosen at random," meaning ordinary citizens selected to participate in the discussions. This approach aims to ensure a diverse representation of the population.
The initiative aims to hear participants' views on how to "meet the expectations and aspirations of the new generations" in Coimbra. The focus is on finding solutions to the challenges that young people face in the city.
This measure comes in the context of concern about retaining young people in Coimbra, seeking to create mechanisms to make the city more attractive and meet their needs.
