The round of contacts, which began in Castellón de la Plana, primarily aims to establish direct dialogue with representatives from neighborhoods and towns. The first meeting was held with the board of directors of the Federation of Citizen Entities of Castellón (COASVECA), a fundamental entity in the city's neighborhood movement since its founding in 1997.
“"The Valencian Government is committed to active listening, participatory processes, and direct contact with neighborhood entities to strengthen the real presence of the Administration in the territory. We want to be close to the representatives of our neighborhoods as strategic allies for efficient public management."
This meeting is the starting point for an agenda that will include meetings with neighborhood federations in the provinces of Valencia and Alicante in the coming weeks. The goal is to develop a common diagnosis of the needs of the Valencian neighborhood movement and to strengthen collaboration between the Generalitat and organized civil society.
During the meeting in Castellón, COASVECA representatives conveyed the main concerns of residents. The initiative seeks to humanize the Administration, making it more accessible, to ensure that no reality is left out of the public agenda. The aim is to recognize the neighborhood fabric, as associations are an essential network of social cohesion and those who best understand the daily reality of neighborhoods and towns.
