Estepona organizes free summer camps for children and young people registered in the locality

The Councilor for Youth of the Estepona City Council, Julia Simón, presented two Summer camps that the City Council organizes free of charge for young residents of the locality.

Firstly, the camp "En la parra," aimed at children aged between 7 and 11 years, with two sessions of 30 students each: from June 30 to July 11 for the first session and from July 14 to July 25 for the second, operating in the morning from 9 AM to 3 PM.

"Participants will be able to play freely, get bored, have fun, scream, or move their bodies and will approach the arts of the 21st century as a way to understand our environment through photography, new textual formats, or the knowledge of artistic disciplines to develop creative thinking," she explained.

This camp will be organized and taught by the educator, poet, and workshop leader Elisa Ogalla, and the teacher and poet, José Fernández.

The second camp will take place from June 23 to September 5, with each session lasting one week and a maximum of 15 participants per session, aged between 9 and 17 years.

The goal will be to provide digital skills in a useful, creative, safe, and responsible manner, in addition to other content.

This camp is conducted through a collaboration agreement of the City Council with the CyberVolunteers Foundation and will be held in the computer room of the Padre Manuel Cultural Center, from 9 AM to 2 PM.

Participants aged 9 to 11 will learn skills such as how to search for information safely or how to distinguish fake news; those aged 12 to 13 will learn about applications for responsible use of technology and receive tips to prevent cyberbullying. And teenagers from 14 to 17 will learn about tools to enhance their employability or the use of artificial intelligence, among others.

Among other subjects common to all ages, they will learn to take care of their privacy and social media etiquette, to filter and search for information more effectively, as well as to detect and prevent cyberbullying.
