Among the programs financed by the Ministry of Youth and Childhood are:
Friendly Cities for Children Program (CAI)
The Friendly Cities for Children Program (CAI) of UNICEF Spanish Committee, is an initiative led by UNICEF in more than 30 countries, including Spain since 2001, that supports Local Entities in their efforts to realize their commitment to children's rights. To date, with the collaboration of the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces, it is present in all Autonomous Communities and has 342 recognized local governments, where nearly 50% of children and adolescents residing in Spain already live. For this, it is essential to establish stable structures that guarantee the exercise of the right of children and adolescents to be heard on municipal matters that concern them and to have their opinions considered.
Cibercorresponsales Program, network of young journalists
The Cibercorresponsales Program, network of young journalists is an initiative of the Children's Platform since 2010. It is another pillar of this right of children and adolescents, by offering them a network of blogs and a social network (cibercorresponsales) for boys and girls under 18 to share with the world what they think, feel, worry about, or want to change. Always participating in groups and through social or educational intervention processes (institutes, associations, councils, NGOs...) they want and aim to be heard, facilitating their participation and offering a positive, healthy, and responsible alternative to using ICT.
