IPDJ launches Canal Aberto, a monthly online session for young people

The Portuguese Institute for Sport and Youth (IPDJ) is promoting “Canal Aberto | Sair do Piloto Automático”, an online initiative that invites young people every month to take part in a session dedicated to a different topic related to the challenges they face in their everyday lives.

Media literacy, artificial intelligence, civic and political participation, mental health, financial literacy, youth associations, human rights, equality, and violence prevention are among the 13 topics included in the programme.

The sessions aim to develop skills, critical thinking, participation, and active citizenship through an accessible and practical approach. Participation is free of charge, subject to registration through the IPDJ Portal, and participants receive a certificate of participation.

Registration opens every month for a new session. Find more information here.
