This study was conducted in a participatory manner with input from city juries, marking an innovative and democratic approach to decision-making. Important updates were made during the Assembly, including the revision and updating of the Work Plan for the upcoming 2023-2024 course. In addition, the edition of the document describing the functions and duties of the Executive Assembly began, a significant step towards effectiveness and clarity in the internal workings of the organisation. One of the most eagerly awaited moments was the voting for and choice of the name and logo of an innovative management tool, marking an important step in the Confederation's modernisation process. The calendar of activities of the Confederation, its federations and Provinces also underwent a comprehensive review, ensuring adequate and efficient planning for the coming period.
