The 'Nueve.e' aims to promote values of active citizenship by young people in the Region of Murcia, through activities that participants themselves organize, manage and set up.
Thus, for the day today in San Pedro students developed the actions undertaken, including workshops for crafts, games, a gymkhana and a symposium on urban significant activities of the 'Nueve.e'.
The main novelty of this program is the methodology used, as it invites him to participate from the practice of activities, so they can learn while involved in them.
Through youth facilitators, participants will organize the program, plan and develop with the aim of gradually achieving more independent in their decision making.
