Formentera Film youth programme, deep-dives on affective-sexual diversity and European Youth Week form core of May calendar at Casal

foto 2021 FF BThe Formentera Department of Youth Services announces the activities programme for this May at the island’s youth drop-in centre. The kick-off came at 8.30pm last Saturday, with screenings in the Casal courtyard from Formentera Film’s youth section. Seven shorts spanned fiction, animation and documentaries, and the crowd enjoyed “extrafest” features and scored a first-ever look at the street dance video shot in April with participants in the Casal de Joves’ dance course.

This week’s programme includes a movie night on Wednesday, TikTok contest on Thursday, table tennis tournament on Friday and talent show on Saturday.

On 12 and 26 May it’s the return of “Xerrades en línea”, a virtual lecture series presented in association with Chrysallis to create a shared space for learning and reflections on respect and affective diversity. And on Saturday 15 May, the International Day of Families will be celebrated with an outing to a trademark Formentera location.

Spring is a time for flowers and plants, so Friday 21 May will come with a workshop on making natural oils. Then on Tuesday 25 May, island youth can catch a talk on Molinet, a local project involving social currency.

European Youth Week
Youth chief Vanessa Parellada took special care to highlight activities related to European Youth Week, which she said were designed to “empower Casal youth, speaking to their interests and requests for deeper connections between Casal staff, the local youth department and island youngsters”. Related activities include a mountain bike ride on Saturday 22 May and a graffiti workshop on Saturday 29 May.
