The Town of Couzeix continues its commitment to youth participation in local life with this third term of the Youth Municipal Council (CMJ). This space for expression, exchange, and proposals allows young councilors to share their ideas, voice the expectations of their generation, and participate in projects beneficial to the town.
Topics will cover sports, culture, the environment, leisure, transportation, and living together. The young elected officials will be invited to gather proposals from their peers, discuss them collectively, and consider ways to implement them, in coordination with elected officials and municipal services.
Beyond the projects that can be realized, this experience will help them better understand how a municipality functions, the role of elected officials, and the various steps necessary to implement an initiative. Speaking out, defending ideas, listening to others, and learning to work in a team will also be part of their mandate.
The new Youth Municipal Council comprises 24 elected members across four school levels: In CM1: Albane Charrat, Gabriel Colmiche, Jessica De Assis, Antoine Dubouchaud, Arthur Larmagnac, Théo Marconnet, and Eléonore Sourdot. In CM2: Jules Bidout, Lucy Combes, Noélie Debord, Aurianne Despax, Chloé Duris, Charlie Galluchon, Inaya Gimenez, Valentin Lardet, Julia-Rose Rivassou, and Maël Roy. In 6th grade: Salsabil Dermouz and Eléna Vergnole. In 5th grade: Tiago Bouillon, Kerian Boulard, Israe Dermouz, Alizée Despax, and Gabriel Georges Prevost.
To support them, the young elected officials will be able to count on the assistance of Cindy Moren and Patricia Leroux, who have been involved since the CMJ's inception, as well as Gaëlle Couturier, deputy councilor for education. Audrey Géraudie, director of the ALSH (Leisure Center) in Couzeix, also works closely with the elected officials to ensure the council's supervision and smooth operation.
The Town thanks all the individuals involved and the parents for their support. A new term begins for these 24 young residents of Couzeix, who are now tasked with making their ideas heard, taking initiatives, and contributing, at their level, to the future of their town.
