Developments for the future - Working with the Consell de Comarc
Although posting on the blog in recent weeks have not been happening, this is purely through lack of things to report. However, that does not mean I have no been working to improve our contact and knowledge of information for living here.
In the many recent meetings I have had with the Consell de Comarc de Montsia, discussions have been taking place of how to further improve communication and offer help to the local immigrant population in Freginals.
In fact over the past year, both the Consell's representative and myself have been keeping an eye on other areas in Catalunya, and how they are trying to help the local immigrant population to integrate and develop. To pick up ideas to use in Freginals.
This has resulting in us finding evidence of good practice in other Consell de Comarcs in Catalunya. Therefore the first thing we plan to develop in the new year is a 'Surgery'
This 'surgery' will allow you to take any problem connected with your life here, be it a local ajuntament problem, a problem with goods and services you have bought, or a problem with neighbours for example. In fact any problem. At the surgery you will be able to seek the advice of what you need to do, and who you need to see to sort the problem out from impartial people.
It is planned that the surgery will take place once a month in the afternoon/evening in a meeting room at the ajuntament.
On this idea I really would appreciate your feed-back - Is it something you would use? Do you think it is a good idea?
This feedback is very important as I have developed this dialogue with the Comarc de Consell for the good of the English community here in Freginals, and I need to know what you want. I do not want to discuss and develop ideas with the Consell if you do not want them, or will not use them.
Perhaps you also have a need or idea, which you would like to see go forward. Then, please let me know so I can do something about it.
We also have things we can offer in return to the village, for example I would like to hear from anyone who would be prepared possibly to give up 1/2 hour to 1 hour per week free to listen to the children of the village reading in English. So we can start a free English reading club in the new year.
So please get in touch with me. It is important for everyone to have an input here.
Thank you

Free Catalan Lessons in Freginals

The Consell de Comarc invites everyone to take part in these lessons. At the first lesson please bring your NIE number with you to register.
