The ceremony took place at the town hall, concluding several weeks of campaigning and elections that mobilized students from the commune's schools. Numerous young candidates presented their motivations and ideas, focusing on improving the living environment, youth activities, and environmental actions.
The elections, held in schools with ballot papers, voter cards, and ballot boxes, allowed students to concretely experience the functioning of democracy. The vote counting process was then observed by the children.
During the inauguration ceremony, the Mayor and Sabrina RUHAUT, Deputy Mayor for Youth, praised the commitment of the young elected officials. They reminded the young councillors that their mission will be to listen to the children of the commune, advocate for their ideas, and participate in projects aimed at improving daily life.
During their term, the young councillors will learn about municipal life, work in teams, debate, and develop collective projects. They will also participate in various local events and ceremonies.
The municipal council and the families present were also thanked for their support, which is essential for the success of this civic endeavor. The municipality congratulates the new elected officials and wishes them a term rich in discoveries and achievements for Villerest.
