The Youth Department is in the process of finalising the Municipal Youth Plan, the aim being to guide, organise and coordinate the strategies and materials relating to young people in Nerja.
The Plan, to be adopted in stages, will be based upon the results of various surveys carried out with people in the municipality aged between 14 and 35 years.
The surveys show a preference for courses and workshops, sports activities and concerts. As a result, the Youth Department has concluded that the youth of Nerja require a training programme in the performing arts, educational shows, sports activities and concerts.
The surveys also apparently also contained various proposals for improvements which will allow for the development of specific objectives, such as encouraging youth participation and involvement in youth associations, promoting youth empowerment, creating access to employment, promotion of young artists and entrepreneurs expanding the range of sports and leisure activities.
