The artwork, integrated into a new garden featuring endemic plants from the region, was funded by the Funchal City Council as part of its support for associations, and was driven by the school's Student Association in partnership with the school's History Group.
At the inauguration ceremony, the councilor for Education and Youth, Helena Leal, highlighted the importance of the educational community's involvement in initiatives that value history, identity, and young people's participation in society.
The councilor emphasized the sculpture's symbolism, referring to the seed as a symbol of growth, learning, and individual and collective development, and underscored its significance in marking the 50 years of Autonomy.
Helena Leal thanked the artists and the entire educational community for their commitment to the project, as well as the Department of Youth and Sport for their proximity work in supporting and publicizing initiatives promoted by young people.
This artwork joins the "Mural of Freedom: Revolution in Colors", also funded by the Funchal City Council under the program “50 years of April: Gazes and Perspectives”.
