This Friday March 22 has taken place the awards ceremony of the drawing contest Cartagena Transparent City of the category of secondary that is carrying out the Department of Equality in the CIM of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena in which they have participated more than 100 students
"It is about students through their centers and teachers getting to know what transparency and citizen participation is," says the Councilor for Education and Transparency, Mercedes García, who has been in charge of delivering the diplomas and awards to the winners during the act.
A total of 107 students from the IES El Bohío, Galileo, San Isidoro and the schools Narval, Hispania, Maristas Sagrada Familia and Leonardo Da Vinci participated.
Young people between 12 and 15 years old have expressed their ideas through the work they have done, consisting of an illustrated story.
The winning story, which has fallen to a group of students of the 1st year of secondary education at El Bohío, deals with citizen collaboration from the metaphorical perspective of a hen that could not fly and that, thanks to the help of others, achieves its goals ', says Tiffany, one of the girls that make up the group.
Three awards were planned, but due to the great participation that the last edition of the primary category had, several special mentions have been extended to groups that had been finalists of the Maristas Sagrada Familia school.
Therefore, the classification of winners has been as follows:
