The project features 12 episodes and includes various secondary and vocational schools in the municipality, such as the Escola Profissional de Segunda Oportunidade de Matosinhos and EPROMAT. The initiative aims to create opportunities for young people to participate and reflect on issues relevant to their daily lives.
During the sessions, the Mayor of Matosinhos, Luísa Salgueiro, the vice-president, Carlos Mouta, and the Councillor for Education and Youth, Nuno Matos, have participated, discussing topics like human rights, cultural pluralism, mental health, democracy, and financial literacy.
The initiative continues on November 13th at Escola Profissional Alternância, with the participation of Luísa Salgueiro, for a discussion on road safety risks, themed «STOP – Se Tens Olhos Pára». The remaining episodes will take place until November 23rd.
The themes are chosen by the students themselves, who play an active role in shaping the content. Each session includes a representative from the municipal executive and specialists, bringing young people closer to institutions and fostering reflection on equality, inclusion, and civic participation.
All episodes will soon be available in full at www.juventudeemfoco.pt.
