  • Youth Information Center -Racó Jove – a key space of involvement of young people in Santa Pola (ES)

    The Youth Information Center Racó Jove as such, and with this name, was born in 2020, although it comes from a long tradition that started in 1990 with the creation of the Youth Information Center. It has evolved and developed more and more activities until it became the Racó of today. In this way, one of the key moments has been the inauguration of the Santa Pola Civic and Social Center in 2000, which incorporated the activities of the Youth Information Center and represented a great change to expand its services, activities and spaces for young people. Interview with Antonio López Lafuente - coordinator of the Racó Jove of Santa Pola provides some insights about the work of the youth center.
