The distinction was awarded by Betweien, in collaboration with the Institute of Education of the University of Minho, recognizing the work developed by the municipality.
The "Valongo Children's Council" project was the focus of this recognition. This initiative allows children to express their vision of the city, sharing their dreams and imagining a better urban future. It serves as a space for dialogue, creation, and mutual collaboration, valuing the children's perspective.
The awards ceremony took place as part of the 5th National Education Awards, an event aimed at celebrating and encouraging best practices in the education sector in Portugal.
