The Montijo Municipal Council approved, in its meeting on November 12th, two cooperation proposals with local entities, focusing on education, solidarity, and active aging.

One proposal establishes a cooperation protocol with the Jorge Peixinho Secondary School, within the framework of the Montijo Senior University. The aim is to develop joint activities in computing, digital literacy, and intergenerational mentoring. This partnership seeks to strengthen the digital skills of Senior University students and provide practical learning experiences for students. The proposal was unanimously approved.
The Montijo Senior University currently has over 260 enrolled students and offers more than 55 disciplines and activities, promoting lifelong learning, social interaction, and active participation of the senior population.
A program contract was also approved with the Lions Club of Montijo, including an annual financial support of €1,500. This funding is intended for the implementation of the Lions Club's activity plan, covering areas such as preventive health, social solidarity, education, literacy, support for children and seniors, environment, and citizenship. The proposal received five votes in favor (three from MVC, one from PSD, and one from PS) and two against (Chega).
With these approvals, the Montijo Municipal Council reinforces its cooperation with local institutions in areas of interest to the community.
