More activities and resources for everybody to enjoy Educational Afternoons
The range of extra-curricular activities in the Educational Afternoons programme is being boosted for the new school year with 200 new activities. This means that families currently have a catalogue available to them with 2,035 activities based around, culture, arts, science and technology.
The activities can be found and requested on the website barcelona.cat/tardeseducatives and are aimed specifically at city children and teenagers between the ages of 6 and 17 (up to 19 in the case of teenagers with a recognised discapacity of at least 33%).
Families who need to can request a subsidy up until 8 October to register for any of the activities. In this case, they should have a financial status assigned to them from the first procedure that was conducted between January and February.
With the Educational Afternoons programme, the aim is to ensure universal access for the city’s children and teenagers to recreational and education activities outside of school hours. To this end, the City Council has increased the funding earmarked for helping families who request a subsidy, the intention being to make afternoon activities universally accessible. Specifically, for this school year the City Council has earmarked 750,000 euros to cover applications, an increase of 150,000 euros compared to last year.
