Description

The project “JOVENS URGENTES” seeks to strengthen democratic culture through the creation of spaces that encourage civic and political participation among young people, allowing them to become agents of change in their own territories. Around 300 students between the ages of 12 and 18 from the municipalities of Maia and Valongo will be invited to participate in mobilisation actions, reflection meetings, artistic workshops (on topics such as democracy, political ideas, activism, partisanship, associations, advocacy, and fake news), presentations, public interventions and political debates together with political decision-makers and the wider community. The “beating heart” of the project is the Rebel Caravan – a van converted into an itinerant space that sets up in schools and public spaces and is one of the bases for the artistic creation processes.
