The Formentera Office of Sports is pleased to announce that this week local students are taking part in nautical activities and environmental workshops at the Nautical Sports Centre (Centre d'Esports Nàutics de Formentera, CENF) as part of 'Let's put values in sport' (Posam valors a l'esport).
Last week, activity leaders from Cleanwave and White Sand Solutions began piloting kayaking and windsurfing outings and environmental workshops with year-four pupils from primary schools.
Paula Ferrer, councillor of sports, said that the programme "aims to promote educational and social values and drive home the idea that caring for nature is essential for our future".
Last year's parallel campaign 'Sport makes us equal' (L'esport ens fa iguals) found more than 1,200 schoolchildren taking part in upwards of 50 workshops and included graphic and audiovisual material. "We continue to work in this line of using sport to transmit values like equality, conflict resolution, frustration and motivation", said Councillor Ferrer, pointing out that additional programming was in the works for winter 2022.
Co-financed by the Govern balear (€11,726.08) and Consell de Formentera (€5,000), 'Posam valors a l'esport' aims to organise activities and actions to disseminate, train and raise awareness of values and positive attitudes in sport.
