The Councilor for Sustainable Development and Transparency, María José Soler, representing the City of Cartagena, participated this morning in the second day of the II International Congress of Transparency, which is being developed in the Faculty of Information Sciences of the University Complutense of Madrid.

The event, which will hold its closing day tomorrow, is being organized by the educational institution, the Spanish Transparency Accreditation Association (ACREDITRA), the Transparency and Good Governance Council and Public Function Archivists.

This is the second edition of an initiative that this year has focused on the interest of lawyers, journalists and public administration workers.

Specifically, it has been designed to recognize the work of archivists, a key function in the administrative organization, at local, regional and national level.

CARTAGENA TRANSPARENTE

María José Soler will present, this afternoon at 19:10 hours, the project driven from its field of competence to instill the value of transparency in the smallest.

The mayor will be accompanied by the transparency technician at the Consistory, María José Prieto, and the specialist in public transparency, Francisco Javier López.

The participation of Cartagena is especially relevant when it coincides with the celebration of the International Day of the Right to Know.

'The value of transparency' is a book that complements a guide for teachers, which aims to equip them with tools, as highlighted by Soler, "educate in transparency", because doing so "is to educate in the values ​​that this' new 'concept (transparency) gives off;

those who collaborate in the child-young-adult transition end up with a complete person, prepared for the challenges of the future, but also to reach out to the closest. "

It is worth noting the international nature of the Congress, with a strong presence of Latin American participants.

In this way, it deepens the knowledge of the legal and political framework in different countries, serving as an exchange of experiences and reflections that can improve public transparency.
