Once known the outcome of the emergency meeting of the School Board, the Federation troops and legions wishes to communicate its appreciation to those groups and representatives who voted Thursday of the Festival as Day No Lectivo because, as we did last year, our commitment to the school community is to offer a day of cultural entertainment, bringing both small parties as history they represent.
The result of child participation during trading activities during the morning of Day No Lectivo 2015, was the best recognition that the Federation could pick up the couple enough to keep trying to be repeated again in later editions reason because for the thousands of children who attended it was instructive, educational and fun.
We found contradictory decision by the School Board, as our Federation troops and legions receives annually more than 30 requests from authorities in different schools in Cartagena and its region, to perform free official visits, with the presence of festive dresses vintage, teaching materials and illustrations, argumentándolas as positive for children;
and on the other hand, in this Council meeting it was decided not to grant the Day No Lectivo that would be given the same possibility for schoolchildren in all schools that are approaching the festive camp.
Despite these contradictions and setbacks, the Federation will continue to pursue the Holidays bring all groups-including escolares- to be a more participatory and inclusive holidays.
We wish that this was also understood by those who certainly know what we contribute to its realization and this idea, to keep working to conquer them, we are convinced of the nobility which means explaining to the smaller a pivotal episode of the glorious past of their city and what happened in Cartagena between general Hannibal and Scipio, two of the greatest strategists of Ancient History.
