The Orihuela Costa Youth Programme, known as Costa Summer 26, marked the successful completion of its inaugural year. This free initiative, offered by Orihuela City Council’s Social Welfare Department, provided sport, outdoor activities, and educational workshops to vulnerable teenagers aged 12 to 16 living in the Orihuela Costa area.
Councillor Agustina Rodríguez, who attended the closing event, commended the programme, stating it had enabled teenagers to enjoy tailored activities, share experiences, and form friendships. Activities included surfing, paddleboarding, climbing, craft workshops, and an excursion to the island of Tabarca. A significant component involved intergenerational workshops at the Alameda del Mar Civic Centre, fostering communication and relationships between generations.
Rodríguez emphasized the programme's creation in response to community requests, aiming to promote equal opportunities, social inclusion, and healthy lifestyles. The 4 municipal social services professionals responsible for delivering the programme were also recognized for their work in ensuring safe and adaptive activities. Costa Summer 26 was provided free of charge to families and those receiving municipal support or considered socially vulnerable, with the ultimate goal of offering participants happy memories, new friendships, and positive experiences in a secure environment.
