Suggestion boxes
“Shortly after their installation, their first action was to have suggestion boxes put up in each of the intermunicipal colleges, which played the game very well” recalls Delphine Barrier, Saint-Flour community agent who supervised them.
Reading boxes
From these contributions, and from their own ideas, they drew the great project of their mandate: to install reading boxes in the municipalities that wished to host them. “They carried out the project from A to Z, explains Jérôme Payrat, from the OMJS, their other supervisor. They discussed the ideas, studied the feasibility of the project. Looked for a service provider to carry them out, and even had to change them. Because the EMI, which was supposed to take care of it, was unable to do so. After too much renewal of students, they no longer had the skills. They therefore called on the CAT and the SEEM company from Coren. Then they approached the town halls to find out which municipalities would like it. “A project that has been made complicated by the Covid, which has loosened the links to the point that some elected officials have withdrawn.

“You were able to better understand the institutions, and discover all the stages of democracy, appreciate Céline Charriaud. But also the functioning of intermunicipal co-operation, its links with the municipalities, how the two strategies must work together and not against each other. Hope this made you want to commit later. “
Renewal

If the latter, the only one still a college student, could seek a new mandate, she will not do so, her studies taking her away from Saint-Flour. Place therefore for new elected officials, for a further period of three years. And first of all, to an electoral campaign, which will soon be launched in the colleges of the sector.
