What we do
The Childhood area works so that children and teenagers grow up in a safe environment, take part in town life and have their rights recognised. El Poble Nou de Benitatxell has held UNICEF's Child Friendly City recognition since 2021, renewed for 2026-2029.
Its main lines of work are:
- Developing the Local Plan for Children and Adolescents.
- Encouraging children and teenagers to take part in municipal life.
- Organising the Christmas, Easter and summer holiday schools, which help families balance work and home life.
- Celebrating Children's Rights Day with activities for all ages.
- Working with the school and with families on educational and leisure activities.
