Pampilhosa da Serra hosted an Erasmus+ Youth Mobility initiative, bringing together local youths and participants from Dunkerque, France, for a week of cultural and environmental exchange.

The initiative featured walks, visits, and cultural and environmental activities, focusing on forest exploration, fire prevention, climate change, and territorial resilience.
A key moment was an ecological restoration action in areas affected by the 2025 fires, which devastated approximately 64,000 hectares in the Central region. 400 species of trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants were planted to support natural regeneration and promote ecosystem diversity and resilience.
This experience combined cultural sharing with the active participation of young people in the valorization and environmental recovery of the territory.
