Another way for your free time

Subject: Free time

SUMMARY:

To spend free time outside of the usual circuits is possible. The supply is wide and varied. In Zaragoza, you can take part in some of the many courses and groups formed in the Houses of Youth or through the PIEE. Weekends can be different with the proposals of 12 Lunas (12 Moons). But if the option is to spend a day outside of Zaragoza, in the mountain or in the city surroundings, several institutions usually organise excursions.

Youth Houses

First of all, the Houses of Youth are a meeting point for young people between 12 and 30 years old, where you can find possibilities to spend your free time, make friends, practice sport or take your first steps in some artistic or cultural activity.
The Houses have a complete programme of courses and workshops that include subjects related to music, plastic arts, sport, cook, nature... and that you can consult in the Youth Agenda of the Website of the CIPAJ http://www.cipaj.org. You can also use its rooms for meeting with your group and make some activity or simply to read magazines, watch films, listen to the radio... Several Houses have other resources such as laboratories of photography or to rehearse in rooms for music bands. All the Houses of Youth have free access to the Internet.
There are 26, 15 in the districts of the city and 11 in rural districts. Opening times: from Tuesday to Sunday afternoons, from 17.30 to 21.30 h; and Saturdays and Sundays also in the morning, from 11.00 to 14.00 h.

Project of Integration of Schools (PIEE)

The PIEE is a project promoted by the Municipal Service of Youth for using the facilities and resources of the schools to implement cultural, sports and free time activities in out-of-school times. You can participate whether you are a student of the centre or you are living in the same district. The PIEE contributes to each centre an educator that collaborates with students, teachers and parents, as well as with youthful, cultural and neighbours associations, etc, in order to make a program of activities adequate for the interests and needs of the centre. This project is implemented in 27 Centres of Secondary Education, in six Centres of Children and Primary Education of the Historic and Oliver districts, and in three Centres of Special Education.
