Youth for the Future:
Over the last 6 years YFTF it’s being a key player in raising active citizenship, sense of initiative and autonomy in Young People of the region and in this way became a NGO in 2020 with the big objective of maximizing this role and keep providing different opportunities for our young active volunteers, since Seixo de Gatões is a rural place with geographical, cultural and social obstacles.
We are committed with promotion of sense of initiative and active citizenship and we work mainly in topics such as human rights and advocating for its defence, mostly environmental issues & climate emergency as well as refugees & migrants issues. We are also active in topics such as personal development, multiculturalism, entrepreneurship, fighting different ways of discrimination, gender balance, etc.
Members of our association had participated in and organized many experiences within the Erasmus + programme, namely Youth Exchanges, Training Courses, Partnership Building Activity and European Volunteering Service. Since August 2017, we sent +50 Youngsters from our village and from other Portuguese regions for several projects abroad.
High on Life:
“High on Life” is the feeling that you get when you live life to its fullest: someone who is high on life can find reasons to smile in the smallest things, and won’t let any random thing ruin the day. Our main aim is to share this “feeling” with as many European young people as possible, for letting them understand how amazing life is! We strongly believe that young people must become a driving force in building the society in which they live; therefore, we want to always create more opportunities in order to help shape a generation that is determined to change our country and the world for the better.
