The Alcalá de Henares City Council has celebrated International Family Day with a special program designed to strengthen emotional bonds and the well-being of local residents.

Throughout the month of May, various municipal spaces in Alcalá de Henares were transformed into meeting points for parents and young people. The initiative, promoted by the local department for family and youth, sought to go beyond the institutional format to offer a space for shared learning and emotional development.
One of the central events was the Alcalá y Yo initiative, aimed at families with babies born in the last year. Participants received a welcome box containing commemorative items and children's stories, accompanied by a theatrical performance centered on the stork, a local symbol.

"Investing in families means investing in well-being, social cohesion, and the future for the entire city."

The program also included the Una Noche bajo las Estrellas proposal, where entire families participated in group dynamics, cooperative games, and puzzle-solving activities. The event featured the collaboration of local entities to offer magic shows and music in a relaxed atmosphere.
These activities are part of a broader municipal strategy aimed at promoting policies for work-life balance and support for children, consolidating the city as an environment that prioritizes quality time and social cohesion among its inhabitants.
