📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Our partner is responsible for the execution of an integrated and decentralized policy for areas of sport and youth, in close collaboration with public and private entities, particularly with sports organizations, youth associations, student and local authorities. The preservation of ethics in sport is still one of the main scopes of our partner. It aims to boost support for youth associations, volunteerism and promotion of citizenship, leisure activities, non-formal education, information and geographical mobility of young people in Portugal and abroad. It is proposed also to revitalize the youth tourism, particularly with regard to youth hostels network and the Youth Card, in order to increase mobility, with efficiency gains and cost savings.
