The Formentera Office of Youth Services [Conselleria de Joventut, CdJF] is pleased to announce the activities planned for this June at the island's youth drop-in centre, Casal de Joves. Councillor Vanessa Parellada said that in addition to activities, "CdJF personnel support young people and assist them in whatever they need, whether that's studying, looking for work, sharing experiences or talking about issues that are important to them". "Our staff stay by young people's side at a time that is immensely important in the formation of their personalities and their transition to adulthood", she continued.
A film screening starts off the programme on Wednesday 1 June, with a two-week run of Wednesday night movies picking up two weeks later exploring the theme of refugees (15/22 June). On Friday 3 June, there will be a massage workshop with soft music to set a relaxing atmosphere. Then, Saturday 4 June comes with a perennial favourite: the Casal cooking workshop, where participants share and prepare healthy recipes.
On Wednesday 8 June, the gang will once again break out "Twister!", a game where young people have fun and explore their flexibility. On Friday 10 June, a table tennis tournament will take shape, and the winner will come away with a pizza. On Saturday 11 June, a henna workshop will offer youth the chance to experiment and unleash their imagination and creativity.
On Friday 17 June, stay flexible and build strength with an acrobatics workshop, another frequent feature on the Casal's monthly calendar. And for World Refugee Day on Saturday 18 June, La Nave Va will lead youth in "Trapped Between Two Realities" [Atrapades entre dues realitats], a workshop on refugees that is both participatory and educational. On Friday 24 June, all those interested can join in painting a new mural on the Casal's outside wall under the direction of Edgar Vilamajó, who has already overseen several murals for the Casal.

Formentera to Run, a 60K five-stage race, began day-one of its 13th year yesterday. World champion Martin Fiz, who has participated in every edition of the event, will be on hand to compete alongside young athlete Giovanni Iommi for the winning title. The 81 participants hail from Spain, Italy, Switzerland and Germany. Formentera to Run ends on Saturday 4 June with a 21K half marathon up and down steep slopes in La Mola. For some participants it will be the only event. The Formentera Office of Tourism has collaborated with the event.
The Formentera Office of Mobility reports that a rental contract must be visible in all rental vehicles that are left in blue/green metred parking and overflow parking areas in La Savina between the months of May and October. Violators may be subject to fines. Today, to pre-empt parking problems in La Savina, blue zone parking attendants embarked on a push to raise awareness about this measure.
