Mallorca: 51 young people learn to share information

On the Balearic islands of Mallorca and Menorca, 51 young people train on Friday, 13 November, to share useful information with others their age. They are linked to youth information services or youth centres and are taking part in a training day run by the Balearic Islands Youth Institute for its youth correspondents programme. The aim is to help them pass information on to classmates and people in their immediate circles.

Capdepera, Marratxí, Santa Maria and Sóller on Mallorca, along with Ciutadella on Menorca, are joining the project for the 2026–27 academic year. Each municipality will form a group of young people for its activities, according to the Balearic Islands Ministry of Families, Social Welfare and Care for Dependent People.

The training has three workshops. One looks at using artificial intelligence to handle information for young people; another covers teamwork and public speaking. The third splits newcomers, who learn basic information-sharing skills, from experienced correspondents, who work on forming a group of their own.

The programme also aims to strengthen young people’s critical thinking and help them use information and communication technology in a healthy way.
