Description

What is the problem/need that is desired to resolve with the commitment? The entire citizenship cannot access to participate in the management of public affairs, either because they do not have the information necessary to do so, or because the participation channel established is not accessible. It is necessary to facilitate the participation of the citizenship in public affairs. It is necessary to have an active citizenship, especially in those sectors where it is most difficult. In the concept of citizenship, it is essential to take into account that childhood and adolescence are active subjects and have full rights. Currently, child participation is a key element in the environment of citizenship and education. It is sustained on solid legislative bases that recognise, defend and promote it. However, it must cease to be a discussion to become a reality that forms part of everyday life where childhood reaches the maximum autonomous exercise of the citizenship.

Objectives of the commitment To contribute to promote the participation of the citizenship in general and particularly children and teens, in building public policies, configuring mechanisms and channels that allow the participation of the citizenship and thus guaranteeing a more effective public management, at both the autonomous region level and locally To guarantee that all components of the citizenship have the adequate information and channels to guarantee their active participation in the management of public affairs and in all actions and decisions that affect them.

Brief description of the commitment To recognise the right of children and teens that are in Navarra to actively and adequately participate in its evolutionary development, adapted to functional diversity, in building a more just, supportive and democratic society, and to know the reality that they live, to discover the problems that affect them most and to provide solutions to them, progressively incorporating into the active citizenship.

How does the commitment contribute to solve the problem or cover the need? The effectiveness of recognising the right represents the incorporation of an important sector into the current citizenship and training in these values for the adults of the future

Why is the commitment relevant with respect to the values of Open Government? It promotes, strengthens and improves the quality of participation in the public management, allowing the citizenship to participate in making public decisions with the objective of achieving better results and better democratic quality. It raises awareness among society and civil servants about the values of Open Government, contributing to the fulfilment of the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda in order to advance towards a just, peaceful and inclusive society. 199

Additional information In 2018, the Navarra Autonomous Community started a pilot project to promote child and teen participation in the municipalities of the Autonomous Community. To do so, it collaborated with 6 city councils of Navarra in the design and implementation of one of the main actions of the process of recognising a municipality as a UNICEF Child Friendly City, and it is the creation of a permanent participation body and representation of the childhood and adolescence of the municipality. In association with this pilot project, in 2019, a youth participation session was organised in order to exchange experiences of Navarra and other autonomous regions as well as the participation of children. As a fruit of that pilot process, the Guide for designing child and teen participation bodies at the local level was recently published (March 2020). It can be consulted at this link Another notable achievement was the approval of Regional Law 12/2019 of 22 March on the democratic participation in Navarra, which includes in its TITLE VI: THE PARTICIPATION OF CHILDREN AND TEENS, which requires the institutions of Navarra to adopt the necessary provisions to enforce this law on the participation of children and teens, and they will be developed in the coming years.
