This event will be the first of many in which art and solidarity will go hand in hand, as the exhibited works will be available for sale to the passersby, with 20% of the proceeds going to different charities, which for this inaugural day will be Paws-patas and MACS (Mojácar A r e a C a n c e r S u p p o r t ) . The idea sprang from a group of residents, frequent visitors to Mojácar and local artists from the area as well as different countries that are following in the trail left in the town over the years by some great international artists. It also has the collaboration of Mojácar Council, who are supporting the project, which is an important starting point for many more to come, reinforcing Mojácar’s position within the international intelligentsia.
Mojácar police give safety classes at school Mojácar Local Police have been giving road safety education sessions to children at the Town’s Bartolomé Flores School, advising the youngsters on appropriate, safe and responsible ways to conduct themselves when out of the home in general.The four groups of 10 to 12 year olds took part in these valuable talks given by the Police, which were delivered in a light-hearted way with fun role play, yet providing some very practical examples to instil good habits and behaviour. The children came away with a number of valuable tips and advice from Mojácar’s Police, who became teachers for a day, instructing the pupils how to go out and about safely, with an awareness of road safety. 3 TO 30 APRIL, OPENING OF THE REGISTRATION PERIOD FOR CHILDREN (aged between 4 months and 3 years) TO JOIN THE MUNICIPAL KINDERGARTEN: Information and registration: 950475229 and 677959093
