Conversation with Valongo City Hall
Hello Niang, thank you for your interest in our project and for your comment.
The Participatory Youth Budget of Valongo (www.opjv.cm-valongo.pt) aims to involve and inspire young people to participate and become involved with the community in a constructive manner, as well as raise awareness to the existing democratic practices. This said, we accept any project (within the participation norms of the PYB) the young people submit. Many projects are thought-out and created having the necessities of the young people in mind. But many other projects are submitted having the whole community in mind, meaning the young people are aware of the necessities of others and that they can make a difference.
The projects are financed/receive na award of 10’000 to implement their ideas, are selected during a prolonged voting period.
Your initiative focuses on Participatory Budgeting for young people aged 6 to 35 in Valongo. What initiatives for the welfare of young people are funded? How did you come up with the money?
