Located just south of Alaró and on the outskirts of Santa Maria, the small village of Consell is believed to have once served as a temporary camp for Roman soldiers on their journey northward.

Easter embodies a significant tradition and a delightful cultural festivity across Mallorca! The Holy Week is packed with activities and sights. In Mallorca, families unite to prepare the customary Easter treats: Rubiols, Empanadas, and Crespells. Hooded processions in cloaks parade through Palma nightly. Beyond the spiritual celebrations, La Fira del Ram emerges as a yearly amusement fair occurring in Palma around Easter, presenting an excellent chance to unwind and enjoy quality time with loved ones.

Easter in Mallorca transforms the island into a vibrant tapestry of traditions, combining solemn religious observances with joyful celebrations. As Holy Week unfolds, the air is filled with the essence of local customs and a festive spirit, offering a unique cultural immersion.

The festivities kick off with Palm Sunday, marking the commencement of Holy Week. Palma resonates with the blessings of palm and olive branches, a homage to Jesus Christ’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem. This day sees the Cathedral of Palma bustling with the Passion Mass, succeeded by a procession led by the Bishop, a visual spectacle steeped in devotion and history.

The heart of Easter in Mallorca lies in its processions, particularly from Semana Santa, a tradition dating back to the 16th century. These processions, led by members of religious brotherhoods donned in hoods and robes, paint a picture of penitence and reflection. The Procesión del Silencio and the Procession de la Sang stand out, enveloping the streets of Palma in a solemn yet profound atmosphere, as the stories of Christ’s passion are brought to life. The departure time for the processions is 7 p.m., and they walk through El Borne, Plaza Cort, El Catedral and the surrounding area of Palma

Beyond the religious fervor, Easter is a time of togetherness and gastronomic delight. The island buzzes with the preparation of traditional Easter pastries such as Rubiols, Empanadas, Crespells, and the savory panades and Cocarrois, each a testament to Mallorca’s rich culinary heritage. These dishes, crafted from recipes passed down through generations, become the centerpiece of family gatherings, symbolizing the joy of shared experiences and the warmth of community.

La Fira del Ram, an annual fair, adds a layer of exhilaration to the Easter celebrations. Amid the spiritual observances, this event offers a chance for locals and visitors to revel in amusement rides, games, and a convivial atmosphere, encapsulating the essence of Mallorcan hospitality and zest for life.

The Sunday following Easter, known as Angel Sunday, shifts the focus from solemnity to celebration. Families and friends meet, sharing meals in a communal spirit that underscores the significance of Easter in fostering bonds and creating memories.

Mallorca’s Easter is not just about the religious significance; it’s a cultural phenomenon that encapsulates the island’s heritage, culinary traditions, and community spirit. Whether it’s the solemnity of the processions, the joyous family gatherings, or the festive air of La Fira del Ram, Easter in Mallorca offers a multi-faceted experience that enriches the soul and delights the senses, making it an unparalleled time to experience the island’s true essence.

The island comes alive with festivities during Holy Week. Traditional rituals, and festive atmosphere make it an exciting time to visit. It’s a good opportunity to immerse oneself in the local culture and traditions.

In the fall 2024, the Raoul Wallenberg School will open its first international school in Palma, the Raoul Wallenberg International School. The school is located in a historic building from 1927 with a lot of charm and character. The building was previously owned by the Vatican and is now undergoing an extensive renovation where great emphasis is placed on preserving the building’s unique character and origins. The school grounds are surrounded by a high wall and extend over 10,000 square meters. There will be generous outdoor areas for play and activities such as basketball and soccer fields, beach volleyball, areas for cultivation and a lovely orange grove.

The school is located in the quiet and pleasant residential area La Vileta in Palma. There are good public transport connections and the school will provide efficient transport solutions to allow pupils to be dropped off and picked up safely and securely.

The Raoul Wallenberg International School will offer education in English and is aimed at children and teenagers aged 5-18 of all nationalities. The school will follow the Cambridge curriculum and meet the requirements of the local Spanish education authority. Spanish will be compulsory throughout the school as well as Catalan for local students. Local history and culture will be emphasized as well as that of the British curriculum.

The vision for Raoul Wallenberg International School is to contribute positively to the development of the local and global society. The school must be a safe and developing environment and a meeting place for all ages. Good role models who provide inspiration and strength are important for everyone, especially for children and young people. The Raoul Wallenberg schools were founded with Raoul Wallenberg as a role model to give children and young people a solid foundation in terms of knowledge, skills and character for life’s various challenges.

Raoul Wallenberg is a symbol of courage and humanity. The school’s four watchwords, honesty, compassion, courage and action, are inspired by Raoul Wallenberg and his life’s deeds. The school’s ambition is to meet each individual child and young person where they are and carry out a developmental journey towards the goals that each individual sets and has the prerequisites for. They see it as their task to lay a character- and knowledge-based foundation for the students so that they, both as young people and adults, can make a positive difference in society, both privately and in their professional life.

Raoul Wallenberg was a young businessman and diplomat who, during the latter part of World War II, managed to save thousands of Hungarian Jews in Budapest from persecution by the Nazis. Some estimates suggest that he through his humanitarian courage and action saved as many as 100,000 thousand people. Raoul Wallenberg’s selfless actions earned him international acclaim. Despite his heroic actions, he mysteriously disappeared in Soviet custody after the war.

For this year’s Christmas team event we decided to do something fun and energizing but at the same time something where we as a team could bond and socialize. We chose to investigate our creativity but through a playful way. We chose to have our event at Skaparkraft!

The creator behind Skaparkraft Palma is Lisa Blohm. She has worked creatively her whole professional life. It was when she attended a similar event with her sister in Sweden that the idea was born. Lisa blanked out at the event, she felt pressured to perform which in its turn gave her anxiety. While her sister, who is not at all creative, bloomed and went with the flow, she let go of all her inhibitions. Lisa liked this type of art creation. She found it to be relaxing for the brain. To create without right or wrong and judgment. And with later training in relaxation & stress management, Lisa learned more about what stress does to our wellbeing and our creativity. She then decided that she wanted to bring and share this to Mallorca. And that’s how Skaparkraft was born!

We’re all born creative, but as we grow older many of us forget this about ourselves. Remember finger painting, when you created something for the sheer joy of it, not because you were trying to make “good” art? We all agreed that it was wonderful to use parts of the brain that as adults we don’t frequently use. In our modern society we are constantly pursuing perfection, to be correct and rectified. In Skaparkraft we could put all that aside and just be in the moment creating and letting the canvas, colors and toles guide us. Reawakening the creative spirit, in a no-pressure, non-judgmental environment. Lisa told us not to pursue the result, the end product, but rather the approach and the journey.

So we let our creativity run wild on a large canvas with easy-to-work acrylic paints. With joy, laughter, music, cava and of course enriching conversations! We played around and found our creativity and our own personal way of expression with different tools such as scrapers, rollers, fingers, and traditional painting tools, the sky’s the limit, and no prior knowledge is needed.

In summary, it was a lovely team activity, we got to hang out and interact. In addition, it is good as team building as we got the chance to help and advise each other when someone specifically asked for help and advice. Some of us even feel that it was therapeutic. One thing is for sure it was rewarding and we left with an endorphin enriching experience.
