Participatory event to promote comprehensive plans for elderly and people with functional diversity

The Formentera Office of Social Welfare (Conselleria de Benestar Social, CBS) is pleased to report that Monday 21 November, the Consell de Formentera auditorium will be the scene of a participatory event on two CBS-backed projects: the Comprehensive Plan for the Elderly and Comprehensive Plan for People with Functional Diversity of Formentera.

Rafael Ramírez, councillor of social welfare, encouraged islanders to participate: "These are important plans that will serve as a roadmap in the years ahead for local government's efforts in these areas and at every level". In the words of Ramírez, "this is about designing the Formentera we want for our elders and for people with disabilities".

One part of crafting the plans is a participatory diagnosis, where all stakeholders can give their vision of how Formentera is now and what to do in the future.

Sessions will take place Monday 21 November in the Consell de Formentera auditorium (Sala de Plens). Mornings will be for individuals who will be directly involved and affected by the plans, with afternoons reserved for family members and islanders at large who wish to contribute their vision and experience.

- 9.00am - 11.00am: senior citizens
- 11.00am - 1.00pm: people with functional diversity
- 4.00pm - 5.30pm: families of elderly people
- 5.30pm - 7.00pm: families of people with functional diversity

An additional session on Tuesday 22 November will involve technicians and professionals in these areas to complement the diagnosis.

Individuals interested in participating can phone the Formentera Day Centre: 971 32 16 17.
