Artistic Area: Theatre
Person in charge of the artistic area: Catarina Aidos
Person in charge of the social area: Rui Santos
Territorial reach: Lisbon and Oeiras (Juvenile Detention Centres)
Duration: 36 months
SDG: 4. Quality education, 10. Reduced inequalities
Mare Liberum is a pilot project aimed at working with 91 young people in three juvenile detention centres in Lisbon. The project is based on the belief that having different and broader experiences will help them to fully reintegrate into society and the school or academic community, while helping them build their self-esteem and creativity and nurture team spirit, through physical and artistic activities.
Besides navigation lessons aboard the Vera Cruz caravel, held by the Portuguese Association for Sail Training (APORVELA), these young people also participate in creative writing, photography, cinema and theatre workshops designed around the concepts of ocean, horizon and freedom. The “journey” ends with a public exhibition of their work.
