Today the participatory committee met to address Formentera's Island Plan on Drugs, Screens and Games, which is being prepared by the Formentera Office of Social Welfare (Conselleria de Benestar Social, CBSF), and the political committee will convene tomorrow. The goal, according to Rafael Ramírez, Councillor of Social Welfare, is a "clearer picture of the population and the engagement of political groups". This plan is currently being prepared and will set out strategies and actions over the next four years for education, family, leisure and community.
Supported by Fundación Salud y Comunidad, a participation-based committee is essential for a realistic diagnosis and, above all, compliance with the plan once it is implemented by all stakeholders. The committee is made up of technical personnel from a variety of areas and administrations and members of the general public. Efforts have also been made to include youth organisations and other groups and individuals that are closely related to the subject. As part of the initiative, surveys were administered among islanders at large and teens at Marc Ferrer High School to shine a light on respondents' experiences with substances and technology.
Political committee
Tomorrow the committee formed by Ana Juan, President of the Consell, a secretary and members of political parties with representation in the Consell de Formentera plenary, will gather for the first time since the plan has been under development. This committee, as highlighted by Councillor Ramírez, "will highlight limits and potentialities whilst the plan is being developed and seek to address proposals in the final document to secure political backing".
