With the signing of these agreements, the organizations set new objectives on which they will work jointly with local entities.
The Federation of Municipalities of the Region of Murcia has celebrated today the signing of collaboration agreements with two organisations with social work in the Region of Murcia, on the one hand UNICEF, and on the other the Federation of Music Bands of the Region of Murcia. The president of the FMRM, María Dolores Muñoz, has signed these agreements together with the representatives of both entities, Amparo Marzal, president of the UNICEF Committee of Murcia, and Ginesa Zamora, president of said association of music band associations.
The framework agreement for collaboration between the Federation of Municipalities of the Region of Murcia and the UNICEF Foundation Spanish Committee has been signed once again after “far exceeding” the objectives of the first agreement that existed and which aimed at the Promotion, Development and Implementation of the Program called Child-Friendly Cities in local public policies.
Therefore, as both Muñoz and Marzal have assured at the signing ceremony, "with the extension of this agreement we intend to achieve new objectives after the success of the collaboration already experienced in which we have reached 15 municipalities as Child Friendly Cities.
Some of these new commitments are to advance awareness-raising strategies with local corporations in the region to disseminate good practices and adapt compliance with the Convention on the Rights of the Child to the municipal sphere; coordination with UNICEF to organize an annual training day for technical staff in municipalities, as well as the creation, implementation and evaluation of the Council for Child and Adolescent Participation in the Region of Murcia.
Regarding the signing of the agreement with the Federation of Music Bands existing in the region, it is a renewal extending its validity for four more years. This collaboration has among its goals, the cooperation in the development of programs of diffusion and social awareness in musical matters, the development of training courses around the various aspects of music, the exchange of information and documentation on issues related to the activities of both entities, or the collaboration to promote the elaboration of a regional normative text that regulates musical activity in its different facets, among others.
