Formentera Council president Jaume Ferrer sat down today with Joan Francesc Ferrer, a representative of the Formentera chapter of a cultural foundation in the Balearics. Under the agreement renewed today by the two men, the Council pledges to extend an €8,000 funding agreement with the group.

In exchange for the support, Formentera's Obra Cultural Balear commits to coordinating “Primavera de cultura”, part of yearly Sant Jordi celebrations (April 23) including literary presentations, conferences, round-table discussions, poetry readings and more. As the island's de facto cultural clearinghouse, the local OCB arm also agrees to produce literature aimed at promoting culture and historic and natural heritage on the island, and fulfil certain advisory and research functions as well.
