- 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, during weekends and during holiday periods. "
- "We are fully aware that this is a complex proposal and that our budget has been very committed for what we are going to be prudent, and in the motion that will be discussed tomorrow we will ask that the procedures be initiated with the Ministry of Education to carry out a first pilot experience in at least one school, if the experience is satisfactory, it will be time to extend the program progressively to other educational centers, "says Padín.
The Municipal Citizens' Group in Cartagena will take to the town hall tomorrow 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 that "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, during weekends and during vacation periods. "
"We are fully aware that this is a complex proposal and that we have already been very committed, as already discussed in the Board of Spokesmen, so we will be prudent, and in the motion that will be discussed tomorrow only we will ask that the procedures be initiated with the Ministry of Education to carry out a first pilot experience in at least one school, and if the experience is satisfactory it will be time to extend the program progressively to other educational centers, with more investment ambitious, "says Padin, who hopes that in this way" he can count on the support of other groups. "
"We want to give more life to the public schools of Cartagena and to achieve this we are going to propose that the Government of Cartagena work in a plan agreed with the Ministry of Education, which counts on the associations of parents and neighbors or other types of groups so that can have these facilities for their acts, workshops, meetings or assemblies, as long as they are non-profit and driven by the citizens' initiative, "said Manuel Padín, who points out that" the goal 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 has pointed out that "it is probable that many of these courtyards, which today do not present an attractive enough aspect, require some reforms, so the City must take advantage of our proposal to negotiate with the Ministry of Education the necessary adjustments to to expand 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 (ADLE) ), "each of the courtyards will need a service that monitors and ensures the proper use of the facilities," said Manuel Padín.
