On that day, citizenship actions aimed at the youth community will also be promoted.
In a press release, the Municipality emphasizes that it will take advantage of this event to present some of its projects directly linked to young people, «raising awareness of matters that are of special importance to younger generations, such as climate change and environmental sustainability, civil protection or food liability'.
With regard to the promotion of healthy eating habits, young people will be able to learn more about the “Marmitando” and “Prato Certo” projects, through developed workshops that will allow them to know which are the best foods and their benefits, how they should be prepared, how to read food labels to interpret the percentage of sugars and saturated fats present in food or even the importance of food and hand hygiene.
Firefighters, Civil Protection and GNR will take some messages about safety and help within the community.
Issues related to climate emergency and environmental protection will also be in focus with the participants, through initiatives aimed at defending biodiversity and habitats, promoted by the Environmental Center.
