The Office of Social Welfare of the Consell de Formentera reports that this week, the Anar Foundation (Fundació Anar) led year-three pupils at CEIP Mestre Lluís Andreu, CEIP Pilar and CEIP Sant Ferran and year-one students of ESO at IES Marc Ferrer in training to promote social harmony.

The training aims to encourage intervention programmes that promote and improve coexistence, or convivència, in the classroom. Participants learned that children and families both can get help on hotlines managed by Fundació Anar, which works to help children and teens (more information).

Fundació Anar facilitates workshops on the island as part of a collaboration agreement with the Office of Social Welfare of the Consell de Formentera.
