Given the increase in the migrant population in Concordia, the municipality is working on training and workshops through the Migraciudades Program. This activity is being carried out within the framework of the professionalization policies for municipal employees promoted by the administration of mayor Enrique Cresto.
In this regard, the executive coordinator of strategic affairs, María de los Ángeles Petit, commented that “these are workshops that are part of a training program being carried out by the Migraciudades Program. Concordia is one of the 12 cities chosen in the country to work on it, due to the public policies implemented in Concordia”.
“It is mainly about strengthening concepts for municipal employees who provide services to people who come to live in Concordia. Through this workshop, we review a series of characteristics related to community mental health, which is precisely what is being addressed in this class”, commented Petit.
Finally, she indicated that Migraciudades “is a program that works on the implementation and application of social and inclusive policies with everyone who chooses Concordia. Our city has a large migratory flow, both internal and external. Many people look for better education, better health, sanitary, and educational services in Concordia. Many people seek to live here and as a state, we must accompany them in this process”.
