Finestrat turns to its young people with a Youth Week full of sport, well-being, solidarity and fun

The Youth Week will be held on August 10, 11 and 12, witha varied program designed to promote healthy habits, solidarity, emotional well-being and coexistence among the youth of Finestrat.

In the words of the Councilor for Children and Youth, Sara Llorca, “one of the most special moments of the year arrives and it is International Youth Day, which is commemorated every August 12. Around that date we have designed a varied, dynamic and participatory program so that our young people can enjoy a few days designed especially for them”. “With these activities,” he added, “we want to create meeting spaces where young people can share experiences, make new friendships and also reinforce important values such as coexistence, solidarity, teamwork and care for physical and emotional health.” Regarding the scheduled activities, Llorca pointed out that “we have organized from a first aid workshop for the little ones, to the Fòrum Jove on emotional well-being and a great final party with fun inflatable circuits, challenges and music. A week of attractive proposals for different ages and interests”.

Monday, August 10: Children’s First Aid + Blood
Donation WorkshopThe program will start in the morning at the Terra Marina Social Center with a Children’s First Aid Workshop, aimed at children from 3 to 9 years old. The activity will be divided into two groups of 15 participants: one from 3 to 5 years old and the other from 6 to 9 years old, adapting the contents to the age of each group. Through games and practical activities, the little ones will learn basic notions of first aid and the importance of knowing how to act in an emergency, including how and when to call 112, thus promoting prevention and education from an early age.
In the afternoon there will be a Blood Donation Day at the Health Center of the historic center of Finestrat (Serra Cortina street). With the aim of especially encouraging the young population to participate in this solidarity initiative. All people who donate blood that Monday will be entered into the draw for various gifts.

On Tuesday, August 11, the Youth Forum “Ment en Forma, Cos en Calma” will take place in La Cala. The conference will be in La Cala and will focus on emotional well-being and promoting healthy habits both physically and emotionally.
The program will begin with a yoga and relaxation session, designed to disconnect from stress and learn basic breathing techniques. It will be in the Plaça de l’Àmfora in La Cala.
This will be followed by a forum on emotional management, led by professionals, in which participants will be able to reflect and share experiences on the importance of taking care of mental health, learning tools to manage emotions and promoting personal well-being.

To develop this activity, the Department of Youth has a subsidy of € 800 from the Provincial Council of Alicante within the call “Subsidy to City Councils and EATIM for activities in youth matters, 2026” to carry out the activity “Mind in shape, Body in calm”.
