The mayor of Youth has affirmed that "we are currently going through exceptional circumstances that are testing our response capacity as a society, not only in the face of the emergency derived from COVID-19 but also in the face of the challenges that lie ahead for us, of recovery, but also of the impetus that we all need to give to the 2030 Agenda, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement, to get out of this crisis better, with greater sustainability, equity and opportunities for prosperity for all and all". José Ángel Ponce has insisted that "as part of a local corporation that wants to be recognized as a Child Friendly City, a recognition that we began to process last July, we want to reaffirm our commitment to the rights of children and adolescents today to ensure a more just, equitable and sustainable future.
" In addition, the mayor of Youth has added that "from the City Council we are working to develop, when the health situation improves and the most important restrictions are no longer in force, an activity aimed at the re-education of children in the game.
The pandemic has affected all groups and especially the smallest, depriving them of the right to play and recreation, that is why we want to have everything ready so that when they lift those restrictions that affect our squares and parks, children have everything ready to that they be re-educated in the game, adapted to the new circumstances, but that it guarantees safety and the right to leisure and children's leisure and to play ". For his part, Toni Meseguer from the company 'Iniciativas El Gigante', explained that "this program 'Placing: re-educating in the game' is a one hundred percent safe activity with which we want to recover the life of parks, squares, gardens and school yards and that it seeks that our children can return to those places knowing what they can and cannot do, knowing the sanitary measures and what games they can and cannot do.
" Toni Meseguer has highlighted the importance that the game has for the development of our minors and has indicated that this program intends to "re-educate minors in the game based on what they will face in the coming months, which will be difficult, reinforce physical activity, especially in open spaces, help to find a healthy emotional balance, promote safe socialization habits in times of pandemic, collaborate in the good development of the search for learning of minors, cooperate with parents and educators, among others ". For this, a methodology based on an inflatable perimeter of 20 x 10 meters will be used, which will be separated into two parts, to be able to make two groups by age, with three monitors, one of them coordinating the groups that will be of nine children each one, with a duration of four hours, and always complying with all current health measures, hand disinfection, use of a mask, differentiated entry and exit, among others. This program wants to reach the whole family, also parents, so that they also know the games that their children can or cannot play, for this they will have access to important information about the benefits of the game through a QR code.
