The City Council of Eivissa continues this Friday with the Christmas program through the Eivissa Jove Festival, an event dedicated to youth that will feature a live performance by the group Projecte Mut. The event will kick off at 7:30 p.m. at the envejado de Vara de Rey and is part of the Eivissa, Ciutat del Nadal program.
A solidarity concert with educational involvement
The initiative directly involves the educational community of the municipality. Six high schools of Eivissa -Consolació, sa Real, Isidor Macabich, Blancadona, sa Colomina and Santa Maria- with about 250 students and 35 teachers involved in the organization. The proceeds obtained during the day will go entirely to finance the end-of-year trips for students in the 4th year of ESO.
During the festival, the public will be able to buy hamburgers and hot dogs, with an expected 1,000 units, as well as cakes and chocolate, made by the students and teachers of Vocational Training of IES Isidor Macabich. The day will also include a photocall and a solidarity market, where each school will sell objects collected by the students themselves to increase the collection.
An initiative with strong support from the centers
The Councilor for Youth of the City Council of Eivissa, Manuel Jimenez, has highlighted the excellent response from schools from the beginning. “From the first moment, the proposal generated a unanimous welcome, with enthusiasm and a great desire to collaborate. The coordination meetings have allowed the distribution of responsibilities in a climate of great cooperation,” he explained.
Jimenez has detailed that the funds obtained from the sale of food and beverages will be distributed equally among the students of all participating schools, as direct support to defray the cost of the end-of-year trip.
Call for citizen participation
The municipal responsible also wanted to expressly thank the involvement of the group Projecte Mut, which from the first moment showed its support and enthusiasm for this solidarity initiative.
Finally, the City Council of Eivissa encourages young people, families and friends to participate in the Eivissa Jove Festival in order to maximize the collection and prevent the end-of-year trip from being an economic burden for families. It also stresses that this is the first initiative of its kind that has the unanimous collaboration of all schools in the municipality.
