Escaldes-Engordany Empodera’t Programme Draws 157 Participants in First Half of 2026

The Escaldes-Engordany Social Action department's Empodera’t programme attracted 157 participants during the first half of 2026, including 137 women and 20 men who joined 12 workshops and training sessions.

Directed mainly at women to promote individual and collective empowerment, the programme opened its activities to men as well, creating shared spaces for learning, wellbeing, and community involvement. The first six months featured sessions centred on personal development, support networks, and social cohesion.

The women's self-defence masterclass saw the highest turnout for a single session, with 26 participants. Across multiple sessions per activity, outdoor tai chi topped the list at 38 attendees, followed by Canva and digital tools workshops with 24, yoga with 21, sourdough bread-making with 20, natural cosmetics with 15, coaching with seven, and digital certificates and electronic signatures with six.

Comú d’Escaldes-Engordany officials highlighted the robust turnout and dedication shown by those involved. They intend to draw on feedback, suggestions, and concerns from participants to refine the second-half schedule, aligning offerings with public preferences and solidifying the programme as a key resource for personal development and engagement.
