Cartagena, Monday, August 21.

The Municipal Citizens Group in Cartagena will take to the next municipal plenary an initiative for the progressive opening of the courtyards, multipurpose spaces and sports courts of public schools outside the school hours.

The 'Patios Abiertos' program has already been launched in other cities such as Barcelona, ​​Albacete, Sagunto, Getafe or Barakaldo, and is being prepared in others such as Valencia.

The spokesman for the orange formation in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, said: "It is obvious that there are no free spaces in the city, in the neighborhoods and in the councils, for the performance of sports activities or for outdoor actions and events when School playgrounds are underutilized beyond school hours, on weekends and during holiday periods. "

"We want to give more life to the public schools of Cartagena and to achieve this we will propose that the Government of Cartagena work in a plan agreed with the Ministry of Education, which has parents associations and neighbors or other groups to Can have these facilities for their acts, workshops, meetings or assemblies, provided they are non-profit and driven by the citizens' initiative, "said Manuel Padín, who points out that" the objective is to considerably increase free spaces without It is an excessive cost for municipal coffers and to promote new leisure alternatives, to develop social, sporting or cultural activities, especially for our young people, but also for groups, institutions and associations that have no place to celebrate their activities.

The Citizens' spokesman said that "it is likely that many of these patios, which do not present an attractive enough aspect, require some reforms, so the City Council should take advantage of our proposal to negotiate with the Ministry of Education the necessary adjustments to To extend its use, since the competences in educational matters are shared by the two administrations ".

The municipal spokesman warns that to be able to develop it will be necessary to establish previously for surveillance and security measures, which could, in the opinion of the orange training, be carried out through the employment plans of the Local Development and Employment Agency ), "Each of the courtyards will need a service that monitors and ensures the proper use of the facilities," said Manuel Padín.

"We are aware that this is a complex proposal but it is worth exploring, so we are going to be cautious, and in the motion to be discussed at the next plenary session and which we have registered today, we will ask that the procedures be initiated With the Ministry of Education to conduct a first pilot experience in at least one school, if the experience is satisfactory we must gradually expand the program to other educational centers, "says Padin.
