Meeting on Wednesday, November 4th, the youth municipal council of Cugnaux officially welcomed six new members, representing children attending CM2 classes. An investiture ceremony was held under the patronage of the Mayor and part of the municipal team.
Under the gaze of their families, Mayor Aurélien-Andreu Seigné, and their adult counterparts, the 6 new members of the youth municipal council (CMJ) were invested in the municipal council chamber. Chosen in October 2026 based on their manifestos, these young residents of Cugnaux will represent their CM2 classmates for the coming year.
After solemnly receiving their tricolor sashes from Éric Delprat, municipal councilor in charge of youth, the new members joined the 17 other CMJ representatives. Mayor Aurélien Andreu-Seigné then explained the symbolism of the municipal councilor's sash, a visible sign of their commitment to serving all inhabitants.
Established in Cugnaux in 1996, this participatory body, representing the town's children from CM2 to third grade, proposes initiatives to improve the living environment. Supervised by two facilitators, this citizenship initiation program also fosters initiative, respectful debate, and self-confidence.
“"I sincerely wanted to thank you for your commitment. 28 years ago, I was in your place. It was an extremely important learning experience in citizenship for me. I wish you a fruitful mandate of work, exchanges, inventiveness, and innovation!"
During this plenary installation assembly, the young councilors finishing their first year of mandate presented their completed projects to their elders. Since taking office in November 2025, CMJ members have worked to make Cugnaux a more caring, supportive, and environmentally friendly place. Their efforts included organizing sports, festive, and cultural events, waste collection operations, and intergenerational meetings.
Looking ahead to 2027, the young elected officials have many ideas to continue improving the daily lives of all residents. They aim to increase solidarity events, enhance green spaces, and implement waste reduction and biodiversity preservation actions. The CMJ team will receive guidance and support from the municipal team, who will also seek their input on youth-related projects.
