The Cabildo de La Palma opened its doors to 3rd and 4th-grade primary students from CEIP Anselmo Pérez Brito, located in Santa Cruz de La Palma. This initiative is part of an open-door program designed to bring public administration closer to young people, explaining the institution's function in island management in an educational manner.
During their tour, the schoolchildren had the opportunity to explore the historic and operational facilities of the building. A key highlight of the visit was the Plenary Hall, where they were informed about how decisions affecting the daily lives of La Palma residents are debated and approved.
The most notable aspect of the day was the enthusiasm and curiosity shown by the students. During the visit, the children not only listened to explanations from the island president, Sergio Rodríguez, but also asked numerous questions on various current island topics, from environmental protection and trails to the management of the island's resources.
These types of school visits underscore the Cabildo de La Palma's commitment to civic education and transparency. By observing the administration's operations firsthand, primary students begin to understand the importance of citizen participation and the value of public heritage and services.
