The event is taking place at the Convento de São Francisco and the Casa do Campino, with the inaugural session focusing on the panel «The Future Doesn't Wait: Youth, Power, and Transformation». In parallel, the Forum of Youth Councillors strengthened the link between political decisions and local realities.
The Learning Carousel, a participatory learning journey using non-formal education methodologies, was the central focus for young participants throughout the morning and afternoon, addressing challenges and priorities in youth policies.
A highlight was the live recording of the first episode of the new podcast «Cuida-te», hosted by António Raminhos, which discussed mental health and emotional well-being. The afternoon also included the MOVY laboratory: Municipal Youth Card, focused on activating proximity instruments.
The first day concluded with the Summit Bar Camp and Summit Fest at the Casa do Campino, fostering social interaction and artistic expression, and building collaboration networks for the second and final day of the summit in Santarém.
