The island's institutions share planning to articulate programs that adapt to the new normal, after the postponement of a large part of the activities planned for these months
Rosa Elena García anticipates that the Cabildo will strengthen this type of projects linked to leisure and culture
The Cabildo of La Gomera and the six town councils have addressed the implementation of new actions aimed at the young people of the island. This was reported by the area advisor, Rosa Elena García, who specified that alternatives are being sought to activate programs that adapt to the limitations of the new normal.
During the meeting with the municipal representatives, the diagnosis and needs of each locality were put on the table, as well as the demands and proposals to be included in the new programming. In this sense, García recalled that based on the ideas presented, leisure, innovation, education and culture projects will be implemented.
“We want to encourage them and make them participate in the day-to-day life of the island, so we have decided to do it in coordination with the city councils and establish planning that is built based on the concerns of our young people, who have seen the leisure-educational offer diminished in these months,” said the head of Education.
Postponements of sports activities
The Sports Department of the Cabildo has reported on the postponed activities that were planned for the months of July, August and the first half of September. During this time, all activities linked to the School Games will remain suspended, as well as the Columbian Veterans Trophy, whose start date was scheduled for July 17. In August, the II Swim Crossing, the XXVI La Gomera Island Triathlon and the XXIX Huelva – La Gomera Ocean Regatta are also postponed.
“In a situation like the current one, where health safety takes priority, holding these events brings with it more risks, which is why the decision has been made to postpone them until the emergency situation subsides,” García clarified.
