IBJove volunteer camps draw 92 young people to Mallorca

Ninety-two young people from different Spanish regions have taken part in the Balearic Youth Institute’s (IBJove) volunteer camps this summer. On Tuesday, 18 August, Families, Social Welfare and Dependency Care councillor Sandra Fernández and IBJove director Tomàs Amer visited Porreres Town Hall in Porreres, Mallorca, to meet participants in one of the projects.

Joined by Temps Lliure Projectes, they spoke with the 15 volunteers taking part in the ‘Fiesta con cabeza’ camp and heard about their activities.

Porreres camp supports Sant Roc celebrations

The Porreres project ran from 5 to 19 August and involved people aged between 18 and 30. It was designed to encourage community participation through volunteers’ direct involvement in the Sant Roc patron saint festivities.

Six projects held this summer

Porreres is one of six IBJove volunteer camps held this summer. The others are based in Sóller, Lloseta, Inca and Santa Maria, which is hosting two camps.

Their work includes social initiatives through artistic activities, promoting diversity, helping local communities during festivals, environmental volunteering and conservation. Other themes cover sustainable habits, equality, inclusion and respect for diversity.
