During the municipal seminar preparing for the 2025–2026 school year, Aracelis Tomás Torres, President of the Pioneers Organisation in Ciego de Ávila, passionately emphasised the urgent need to reconnect children with lost childhood traditions.

In her address, she addressed concerns about excessive social media use and the decline in face-to-face socialisation among youngsters.
She stressed that reviving traditional games and promoting group dynamics beyond the digital environment has become vital, fostering spaces of genuine coexistence to strengthen the emotional and cultural development of new generations.

Tomás Torres also highlighted the importance of refining group assembly processes and systematising the study of Cuban history through real-world settings.

She underscored that monuments, commemorative plaques, and historical sites should not be mere places to visit but living components of Pioneers education, linking holiday programmes with experiences at historical locations.

According to the leader, living history with children—not merely recounting it—is key to nurturing their sense of belonging and national identity.

The proposal aims to ensure every game, outing, or exchange among Pioneers becomes an opportunity to educate, prevent issues, and foster growth. (Ricardo Varona Yedra)
