Fuerteventura community resources guide to be presented on 18 November
The Cabildo will present a guide to community resources across Fuerteventura’s six municipalities, alongside a continuing programme of training.
Fuerteventura’s new Island Guide to Community Resources will be presented at the Cabildo on 18 November, offering residents and organisations a way to find and connect with initiatives across the island’s six municipalities.
The presentation will take place at 09:00 in the Cabildo’s council chamber. Residents, associations, community groups, professionals and institutional representatives are invited to attend.
The guide is intended as a living resource, bringing together information about organisations, initiatives and other contributors to community life. The Cabildo says it aims to help people identify resources, make connections and find opportunities to work together.
Councillor Víctor Alonso said the aim was to connect people, recognise work already taking place in the municipalities and create further opportunities for participation.
Community training continues
The guide is part of Fuerteventura Protagonista, a Cabildo project run with the University of La Laguna, through its General Foundation, and the involvement of all six island councils.
Its training programme continues on 24 November with a session on listening and learning about the local community. A further session on 9 December will explore neighbourhoods, villages and their community opportunities. Recent sessions have focused on relationships between generations and creating spaces for participation.
Registration is also open for Construyendo Comunidad I, a free, 20-hour course combining in-person and remote learning. Accredited by the University of La Laguna, it offers tools for building trust, collaboration and shared responsibility in community work. Register for the course.
