The students of Colegio Sagrados Corazones promote mobility on foot and sustainability with ‘Metrominuto Redován’.

The project ‘Redovánpolis Go!’ The sustainable village’ developed by the Colegio Sagrados Corazones de Redován with the support of the City Council since its inception makes a positive balance of the course and presents its latest creation, ‘Metrominuto Redován’. It is a map developed by students of fifth and sixth grade in which the average travel times between different points of interest in the town are established. It is intended to promote mobility on foot, thus reducing CO2 emissions from vehicles into the atmosphere, involving families in its development and thus having a more sustainable town, which is the main objective of the project.

Councilman Environment, Ramon Lopez, said that ‘RedovánpolisGO!’ is not only new “but it is very necessary and effective, since from the school students are given a series of guidelines for recycling, mobility, and in general everything necessary to create a society increasingly aware of the respect it deserves the environment to, among other things, curb problems that we have to fight, such as climate change. That is why he wanted to congratulate once again the school and its teachers “for having managed to raise awareness among children who in turn apply these teachings at home and make their parents also be more respectful of the environment”.

Lopez has indicated that the City Council will install the map of ‘Metrominuto’ in places like the Avenida de la Diputación, so that it can be consulted. In addition, it can be downloaded from the website of the City Council “and a QR code has been developed through which anyone can carry it on their cell phone”.

Balance of the course

For ‘Redovánpolis Go!’ the 2021-2022 academic year has been the take-off of the project, although it began to develop during the previous academic year, as indicated by the project coordinator, Rubén Ferrer. The impact at the educational level has been high, with the participation of teachers, students and families in the different missions that have completed, month after month, all the classes. This participation has achieved, among other things, a better recycling of the school’s resources, in addition to collecting more than 7,000 bottle caps and more than 380 kilos of batteries.

Solidarity is also part of the school project, with missions that have raised money for the Association El Árbol de los Sueños, in addition to collecting food and materials for the Association Patas sin Fronteras, coordinated by the Infant cycle. From the third cycle, which has developed the ‘Metrominuto Redován’, have been received by the AMPA some farming tools for the school garden launched this year with the help of the City Council. The project has created the Virtual Museum of the sustainable village where you can visit the works of art made on the occasion of 8M, since equality is to start from the sustainable village.

‘Redovánpolis Go!’ has also been the subject of several awards such as the Grifo de Redován Award granted in April by the City Council. But it has also crossed the borders of the municipality as a finalist in a national contest and first prize in environmental competitions and on digital transformation of the classroom, an award that will be collected in Seville in the coming weeks. Likewise, the project has been exhibited in Elche in the framework of the I Jorndas de la ‘Red ODS 2030: Caminando hacia el futuro’ and in November it will be in ‘Vincle educatiu’ of the Fuhem Foundation in collaboration with the City Council and the University of Valencia, where it will be presented as a project of good practices in the school community.

The Redován City Council promotes the practice of paddle tennis with the launch of its first municipal court.

Redován City Council has launched what is the first municipal paddle tennis court in the town in the Sports Center Los Pasos. This infrastructure, built at the same time that two of the existing tennis courts have been renovated, has been paid for with funds from the Plan + Sport of the Provincial Council of Alicante. The entire performance has involved an investment of 48,288.01 euros, and has been designed by the architect Sergio Pina redovanense and executed by the company, also Redován, Zaragoza Group.

The councilman of sports, Ramón López, has assured that from the City Council “we promote sport in any modality, but on this occasion we wanted to pay attention to racket sports because of the great fondness they have in our town, as well as the demand of numerous people who considered that our sports center was missing a paddle tennis court like the one that will be able to start using from tomorrow.”

Ramón López together with the mayoress, Nely Ruiz, has been this morning at the facilities to announce “the imminent launch of the paddle tennis court, totally free, and that can already be booked at the sports center”. The mayor has assured “that the paddle has many fans in Redován, and now they can practice their favorite sport without leaving Redován”.

 

Redován incorporates two unemployed young people under 30 years of age through the EMPUJU 2022 Program

The City Council of Redován has incorporated two young people under 30 years of age who were unemployed. These two new municipal employees will carry out their work for one year, until July 17, 2023, through Labora's EMPUJU 2022 Program co-financed by the European Social Fund.

The grant awarded is 33,031.44 euros and the jobs to be performed will be masonry laborers for the maintenance of urban public spaces and administrative assistants for the management of the local administration. The Councilor for Employment, Maite Martínez, explained that, as every year, the Redován City Council benefits from this aid co-financed by the European Union "which allows us to provide work, in this case to two young people under 30 years of age who they were unemployed, and on the other hand, we managed to improve our town thanks to their work, with which, all the citizens of Redovan benefit from these aids”.

The old gymnasium in Redován begins its conversion into classrooms to accommodate students from the Sagrados Corazones School

Redován Town Council is to start converting the old municipal gymnasium into training classrooms. The Councillor for Education, Rebeca Martínez, explains that these facilities “will initially accommodate the students of the Sagrados Corazones School who have to move due to the extension work on this centre, and will then remain open for training courses which may be organised in our municipality by the Town Council or other institutions or organisations”.

 

The councillor for Town Planning, José Nájar, explained the work to be carried out, which involves the creation of six classrooms on the ground floor and first floor with their corresponding toilets and service areas. The constructed surface area of the project is 638.14 metres spread over the two floors. “On the ground floor there will be a covered access, the entrance and distribution, two toilets, a multi-purpose room and two classrooms, while on the first floor there will be a distributor that will serve two offices and four other classrooms”.

 

Basically, said Nájar, “it is about redistributing the current spaces to the existing educational needs of our municipality”, and among other things it will be provided with accessibility through a ramp and handrail at the entrance, change of lighting, review of electrical installations, plumbing and sanitation and placement of a security fence to prevent access to the existing staircase when leaving the centre.

 

Last Friday a visit was made to the facilities together with representatives of the company that is going to carry out the adaptation once the contract has been awarded so that work can begin in the next few days. This is the first phase of the project carried out by local architect Alejandra Fernández Mateo.

Redován incorporates 18 agricultural labourers to carry out the maintenance and cleaning of ravines and paths.

The Redován Town Council has incorporated, as it does every summer, 18 agricultural labourers into the municipal workforce, who will be dedicated to the maintenance and cleaning of ravines, rural roads, the recreational area of La Ermita and streets and squares in the municipality, especially in the rural districts of El Rincón and San Carlos. These contracts are carried out on the basis of the SEPE-Local Councils Agreement for Depressed Rural Areas through a grant of 86,562 euros to cover salary costs.

The Councillor for Employment, Maite Martínez, explained that the labourers will work for 70 real days and that they will mainly be clearing gullies, collecting waste and clearing brush, stones and branches “in order to improve the rural environment of our rural roads, as well as cleaning and maintaining the recreational area of La Ermita, the street Polideportivo Los Pasos, public squares and various areas of the districts of San Carlos and El Rincón that require this type of action”.

Martínez added that “we also favour the creation of jobs and the training of the people involved, while improving our environment with work that, for example, allows us to keep the ravines clean in the event of possible flooding, especially during the autumn”.
