PalmActive, healthy, and committed young people. This is the challenge that the Consell de Mallorca sets for the island's youth and which it develops through various programs that combine mental health, creativity, nature, and new opportunities. With this commitment, the institution wants to respond to the real concerns of young people and offer them useful tools for their day-to-day lives, from emotional well-being to personal expression or quality free time. In the words of the president of the Consell, Llorenç Galmés, “we have not only the obligation, but the firm will to support our young people and contribute to their integral growth. It is, without a doubt, the best investment we can make for Mallorca: betting on the talent, well-being, and development of the capabilities of our young people”.

In this regard, this year the institution has wanted to support Acampallengua with a record financial contribution in its history, as it is an event that, after many years, has established itself as a benchmark in the claim for the importance of its own culture and language and which, moreover, has a program of high-quality activities and concerts that promote dynamism and meeting among the young people of Mallorca.

Mental health: understanding what is happening to us

Mental health is increasingly present in our society, and it's no coincidence. That's why the Consell has launched the "Adéntrate en tus emociones" cycle, a space designed for young people to speak clearly about what they feel, without filters or taboos.

This initiative brings mental health directly into classrooms through experiential, participatory workshops adapted to the reality of young people. The sessions take place during school hours and with the class group, which helps normalize emotional work as a further part of the educational process and reinforce group cohesion.

Creativity: saying what you think through art

In parallel, the program Flip Up: turn your emotions around has established itself as one of the main tools for direct intervention in educational centers, and has already reached more than 2,000 vocational training students. This initiative brings mental health directly to classrooms through experiential, participatory workshops adapted to the reality of young people. The sessions take place during school hours and with the class group, which allows emotional work to be normalized as another part of the educational process and strengthens group cohesion.

Creativity: saying what you think through art

If you have things to say, the Young Talents awards are an opportunity to do so. This new initiative has wanted to give a voice to young creators from Mallorca and turn art into a form of expression and also of connection with others. Young people between 18 and 30 years old have applied (the call closed on April 3rd) in disciplines such as photography, painting, design, audiovisual, and writing. With economic prizes and visibility for the projects, the proposal encourages transforming ideas, emotions, and experiences into artistic creations. All this, with a clear common thread: emotional well-being.

Nature: disconnect to reconnect

In line with the priority of “healthy leisure” that the president of the Consell, Llorenç Galmés, has claimed on more than one occasion, various programs aimed at connecting young people with nature have also been launched. For those who want to enjoy it right now, the program Youth in the Mountains-spring 2026 offers a different experience: breaking free from routine and living for a few days in a unique space, the Tramuntana mountain range.

The stays, at the Pont Romà refuge in Pollença, combine excursions, group activities, and learning about the heritage of the Tramuntana mountain range. They are designed for young people aged 9 to 17 and include everything: transport, accommodation, and food. A way to make new friends, disconnect from screens, and connect with the environment. Performances with dozens of participants have also been activated in the programs Youth in the Snow, Multiaventures, Jacobean Route, and Horsemen's Path. All combine physical activity, nature, and group coexistence, and promote healthy lifestyle habits, reinforce autonomy and confidence, and generate new relationships in environments away from screens.

More opportunities: support from the municipalities

The Consell's entire strategy with young people revolves around municipalities, the axis that must underpin any public policy. For this reason, the entity has opened a new line of aid worth 650,000 euros aimed at town councils so they can promote projects for the young people in their municipalities.

This translates into more activities, workshops, information services, prevention campaigns, and initiatives to help with aspects such as employment or emancipation. Camps can also be organized and local youth plans updated, with the aim of ensuring that opportunities reach every corner of the island.
