On Thursday 12th, the councillor for Social Inclusion, Mari Franci Alarcón (PP), presented the ‘Mijas Concilia en Semana Blanca’ programme. This play centre service offers 75 free places for children aged 4 to 14 with the aim of helping families in Mijas to achieve a better work-life balance during ‘Semana Blanca’. “Registration opens on Friday 13th, and places will be allocated to the first 75 applicants who meet the requirements”, explained the councillor.
Among the requirements, families must be registered in Mijas, and legal guardians must be working or undergoing job training during the hours the the activity takes place. Priority will be given to single-parent families and large families who meet the criteria, as well as those with lower incomes. The activities, which are completely free of charge, will take place at the CEIP Tamixa school in Las Lagunas from 9:00 to 14 hours. The 75 children will be supervised by eight specialised instructors.
“The programme is for children aged 4 to 14”, said Alarcón, who added that “registration is individual for each child, meaning that a family with three children must submit three separate applications. It is important to be aware of this so that registrations are completed correctly, as otherwise some children may be missed out”. The forms are available on the municipal website (mijas.es) and at municipal offices.

Places
Registrations can be submitted until the 19th of February through the municipal official registries (at the Town Hall or branch offices) or via the electronic office. This new edition of Mijas Concilia is being launched by the Social Inclusion Department of the Mijas Town Hall with funding from the Joint Responsibility Plan of the Junta de Andalucía. “I encourage families who need help balancing work and family life to sign their children up for this activity, it will be great fun for them and a wonderful way to spend the week. Many parents have to work and need somewhere to take their children”, concluded the councillor for Social Inclusion.
