Parents, children and grandparents entertained together with a pastime of the most traditional.
That was the spirit of the fourth edition of the 'Build and Fly Your Kite', held in Las Torres de Cotillas, this time under the European project 'Do-U-Sport'.
Divided in two, this workshop first counted in the morning in the municipal pavilion 'Mireia Belmonte' with the part in which its participants learned to make their own flying artifact.
"There was a great turnout and we counted on the collaboration of several volunteers", explains the Councilor of Physical Activity and Sports, Ginés Pérez.
Already in the afternoon this workshop, which was held on Monday 21 August, moved to the municipal field of natural grass.
There the hundreds of young and old participants had a great time, enjoying the good weather and good conditions to fly their comets.
European project
The European project 'Do-U-Sport' of the Erasmus + program has as main objective to explore the role of the local authorities in the promotion of sport as an activity for all, free of barriers.
In this initiative, which began last January and lasts until December 2018, Las Torres de Cotillas participates in collaboration with the municipalities of Tábua (Portugal) and Mielec (Poland).
With a budget of almost 31,500 euros for the Torreño municipality, this project is subsidized by almost 75% by the European Commission.
"Consolidating the role of local authorities in promoting sports for all, increasing the number of people and organizations involved in sports activities at the local level or promoting a deeper understanding of how sport is seen and lived in municipalities are other of the objectives of this project that is already underway, "explains Pérez.
