Two surveys in Tarragona to understand the well-being of children

The Tarragona City Council has launched two surveys aimed at children, adolescents, and families to learn about their well-being and needs in the city. This action is part of the creation of the Local Children and Adolescents Plan 2026-2030, which seeks to make Tarragona a safer and more inclusive place for youth.

If you are a family or have children between 10 and 18 years old, you might be interested to know how you can contribute to defining public policies that will directly impact local quality of life. It only takes a few minutes.

The objective of the surveys and what they seek to find out

Why is it key to understand the well-being of children and adolescents?

Understanding the reality of young people and their families allows for designing actions that improve their life experience in Tarragona. This updated diagnosis is the basis for creating effective policies.

What aspects are explored in the surveys?

• Emotional and physical well-being of children and adolescents.
• Participation in social and community activities.
• Perception of the school and family environment.
• Concerns and proposals to improve the city.
• Families’ views on resources and needs.

Citizen and social agents’ participation

How can residents participate?

The City Council encourages all families and youths to respond to the surveys, which are anonymous and confidential. Massive and diverse participation is key to obtaining a real and broad picture of the situation.

What role do organizations and educational centers have?

Collaboration is requested from these agents to promote the surveys and reach more people. This way, the information collected will be more representative and useful for planning.

How much time is needed to respond?

They are brief questionnaires that only take a few minutes but have a considerable impact on improving local services and policies.

Participating in these surveys not only helps the City Council better understand the needs of the child and youth group, but also gives families and young people a voice to directly share their experiences and proposals.

The reality is that Tarragona’s future depends on listening to those who live here, especially the youngest and adolescents. And this initiative aims to be the platform that makes this dialogue possible.
