La Direcció General de Política Lingüística posa en marxa el FEMA, el primer Festival de Manga i Anime en català, una iniciativa per fomentar l'ús de la llengua catalana a través de dues expressions de la cultura japonesa com són el cinema anime i el còmic manga.

L'objectiu del festival és promoure i dinamitzar la cultura del còmic manga i l'anime en català com a porta d'entrada per al foment de la llengua entre el públic més jove. També vol ser una mostra de les publicacions en català d'aquest gènere i una manera de prendre el pols a les projeccions de sèries i pel·lícules anime en català.

Es tracta del primer festival d'aquest tipus que s'organitza arreu de les Illes Balears i també la primera vegada que es fa íntegrament en català als Països Catalans. Pel que fa a Formentera, tendrà lloc els dies 8 i 15 d'abril a la Sala de Cultura (Cinema).

La programació compta amb diferents activitats:

1)    Tallers d'introducció al manga i al kanji, col·loquis amb experts en anime i manga en català, karaokes, concursos de disfresses, etc., al Casal de Joves de Formentera, de 10 h a 14 h, el dissabte 8 d'abril.
2)    La projecció de dues estrenes recents d'anime en català com són Evangelion: 3.0+1.01 Thrice Upon a Time (8 d'abril) i Blue Thermal (15 d'abril) a la Sala de Cultura (Cinema).

The Office of Youth of the Consell de Formentera is pleased to report that Friday 31 March, the Casal de Joves will celebrate the 15th anniversary of its opening. At 4.30pm, the island's youth drop-in centre will host an open day where all of Formentera can get to know the facilities and meet Casal youth and staff.

From 5.00pm, there will be children's activities like face painting, spin art, table football and other games so that, in the words of Vanessa Parellada, youth councillor, "pre-teens can start getting to know the centre too, with Casal teens on hand to lead the way". Parents and Casal attendees from years past can also come enjoy the celebration, said Parellada. "The idea is to open the space to children —who will soon be old enough to use the Casal too— and other family members, for a party that is inclusive and has a place for everyone, but which puts young people at the centre."

At 6.00pm, a snack will be offered to all attendees. From 8.30pm, the audience will guide the "actors" in an activity called "Improxoc" through creation of a totally improvised story. The performance will be followed by a pizza dinner and, at 10.00pm, the evening's crowning event: a rap concert from the first generations of Casal youth (Lu, Tur, Acqua, Gawchito, Flaco Fer and Dj Day-n).

The Office of Youth Affairs of the Consell de Formentera is pleased to report that a questionnaire is being administered that will allow local 11- to 19-year-olds to help design youth policies in the years ahead. This survey is part of a study to develop Formentera's third Plan for Children and Youth.

"If you had a magic wand, what would you want to do on Formentera?" is the question put to young people at the start of a questionnaire about possibilities for leisure, culture, free time, citizen participation, health, peer relationships, etc.

As explained by Vanessa Parellada, youth affairs councillor, "the responses will guide us in developing this third strategic plan for Formentera children and youth. The plan will also include the participation of entities and social partners from all areas of Formentera related to children and youth."

"This information will serve to update our study of local children and youth's situation, and will shape an analysis highlighting which needs are best met, the achievements of the second Plan and the direction that the next plan will take, as well as the projects it will include", added Councillor Parellada.

Form
Responses are anonymous, and the form can be filled out at the following address: shorturl.at/dlFZ9. A poster with a QR code will also be posted on social media and on the Consell de Formentera website to invite young people to participate. The questionnaire has additionally been distributed among pupils at IES Marc Ferrer and youth at the Casal de Joves.

The second Plan for Children and Youth was adopted in September 2018 and related proposals were scheduled to be developed between 2018 and 2022.
