The Nordeste Council marked the Municipal Day for Equality with an inclusive sports activity, led by the local Santa Casa da Misericórdia, to teach children aged 3 to 4 that all sports are suitable for both sexes.

The initiative, promoted by Anima r – Portuguese Association for Local Development, involved the collaboration of an intern technician from the sports degree program, Pedro Frias. The aim was to show children that all sports are suitable for both boys and girls, ensuring no one feels excluded.
For about an hour, the children actively participated in various activities, demonstrating enjoyment and skill in practicing any sport. Several girls showed notable ease in playing football, highlighting everyone's aptitude for any modality.
