AYUNTAMIENTO DE ZARAGOZA

descripción de la organización:

“Zaragoza City Council has assigned to Youth and Volunteer Service the
promotion of citizenship activities especially young people, in order to
promote their training in participation, creativity,
solidarity, and European culture. To achieve those goals, the Volunteering for Zaragoza was created in 2009, as a municipal action program, which
usually plans different actions in coordination with local services

nt,...) so thatInterested people can develop their initiatives.
Volunteering for Zaragoza was born as a result of the unquestionable success
of the Expo Zaragoza 2008 Volunteers, as a response to the movement of
citizen participation from which an important voluntary group was formed,
committed, organized, well trained and with its own entity, with recognition,
future stability and continuity.
Currently the Volunteer team is formed by 4.700 people, many of them young people, with the commitment of being part of a big family which is gradually growing with the incorporation of new volunteers.
The volunteers take action in coordination with the rest of the municipal areas and services to develop activities of interest to the
city, and also with collaborating entities”
General objectives of the 4 Youth Plan (Youth service):
1. Contribute to the emancipation and personal development of youth.
2. Empower young people through the implementation of participatory processes.
3. Progress in transversality within the City Council and with other institutions.

These objectives must be completed with the Transversal Lines that reports this
4 Youth Plan and which are the following:
1 Interculturality
Collecting this reality as part of the complexity of youth is necessary to
guide all actions and measures in the fundamental strategic lines.
2 Gender
Incorporating the gender perspective, mainstreaming, is essential to get out
stereotypes and build a better society.
