The school community of Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo marked October Pink with a walk through the town, culminating in the formation of a human ribbon in front of the Secondary School.

The initiative, promoted by the Health Education Project (PES) of the Agrupamento de Escolas de Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo, was supported by the Municipal Council, through CLDS 5G Figueira Inclusiva, the GNR, and the local Community Care Unit (UCC).
The symbolic gesture of unity, hope, and commitment to the cause brought together students, teachers, and other members of the educational community, reinforcing the importance of prevention, early diagnosis, and the adoption of healthy lifestyle habits.
The event served as a moment for health awareness and education, under the motto "Because raising awareness is caring, prevention is protecting, and unity makes a difference."
