Gulbenkian 15-25 Participa
The initiative Gulbenkian 15-25 Participa (take part) aims to inform the decisions that are taken during the strategic planning of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation by considering the experiences, perspectives and recommendations of young beneficiaries of projects financed by the Foundation.
To keep on improving and perfecting its work, the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation heard youngsters over the age of 15 that take part in some of its projects and initiatives on the following subjects:
- what it means to be young in today’s world and in Portugal;
- the main opportunities for the young;
- the challenges faced by younger generations.
With the support of the team from ComParte, the focus of this audition was the personal experience of each young participant and the constant questioning about the experiences that have defined and structured their lives.
