The Formentera Office of Youth is pleased to present the August activities programme at the Casal de Joves. Vanessa Parellada, councillor of youth, said, "It's one of the hottest months of the year, so small wonder Saturday 6 August brings the return of one of summer's most refreshing activities: a water games workshop".
Parellada revealed two red-letter events in particular: "Friday 12 August, youngsters at the Casal will celebrate Youth Day (Dia de la Joventut) with music and food, and discuss the crucial role of youth at every level of society".
Then, on Friday and Saturday 27 and 28 August, participants in Evenings of Art (Tardes d'art) will use their imagination and creativity to make a large drawing on a piece of canvas that will later be cut out and used to decorate the Casal.
On three Wednesdays (3, 10 and 24 August), the crowd at the Casal will screen films on topics of special interest to youth and, on four Thursdays (4, 11, 18 and 25 August), aspiring illustrators are encouraged to join a perennial favourite: the manga drawing workshop.

This morning, members of the Children's and Youth Participatory Council (Consell de Participació de la Infància i la Joventut, CPIJ) gathered for the second plenary session so far this school year and the first face-to-face plenary since the start of the pandemic. The meeting was chaired by Ana Juan, president of the Consell de Formentera, and co-chaired by Vanessa Parellada, councillor of youth. With representatives of the island's primary schools unable to attend due to scheduling conflicts, pupils at Marc Ferrer Secondary School (IES Marc Ferrer) were the only other attendees.
