The Balearic Youth Institute (IBJOVE) is a public entity that depends organically on the Ministry of Families and Social Affairs of the Government of the Balearic Islands. Its primary function is to implement the youth policies launched by the Government of the Balearic Islands and to develop specific and global initiatives, whether its own or in support of other entities, for the benefit of the youth of our islands.
Among other things, the Balearic Youth Institute manages the Art Jove Cultural Program; the Balearic Islands Youth Observatory; the Carnet Jove; Infojove (with programs such as "Youth Information Ambassadors"); youth facilities, such as the hostel and camp of Victòria (Alcúdia, Mallorca), and the summer camp of Formentera; as well as the Participation Area, for meetings with entities and professionals from the world of youth and leisure.
In addition, the Balearic Youth Institute organises training and support activities for professionals who work in the field of youth, education and leisure with the aim of recognising and valuing the importance of the entire sector that works with young people.
