The Formentera Office of Citizen Participation is pleased to report that during the months of April and May there will be practical workshops to give participants the tools to access government services online.

Workshops will mainly focus on obtaining and using the certificado digital used to sign official documents online, as well as other important points on how associations can engage virtually with government. As such, the classes are intended for board members, who are authorised to take such steps.

The workshops will be for small groups and programmed based on demand in the morning or afternoon/evening. Registrations must be completed by 8 April and are handled via e-mail at participacio@conselldeformentera.cat. Participants will need to bring a personal computer.

Vanessa Parellada, Councillor of Citizen Participation, cast the courses as "a way to help association representatives to obtain their digital certificate to engage with administrations electronically". She added, "This way islanders will be able to complete formalities faster and more easily, without having to travel".
 
Under new rules, correspondence with the Register of Associations of the Balearic Government must be done online. "We're making the most of this situation to enhance islanders' familiarity with digital tools so they can interact with any administration: Balearic, state or Consell de Formentera", said Parellada.

Depending on demand, a list will be kept if there are individuals not in associations who are interested in this training too. To that end, please send requests to participacio@conselldeformentera.cat.
