From the 10 years of activity at Citizenship Academy, we highlight the network-building efforts of the “Citizens’ Rights” project, “International Exchanges,” and the “TROCA Platform.”
Citizens’ Rights – A series of workshops in schools across the country covering topics such as non-discrimination, human rights, digital privacy, and citizenship. Thematic meetings of EU activists discussed how individuals and collectives can protect and enhance their rights. Citizenship Academy participated in four meetings outside Portugal on the themes of “Culture,” “Legislation,” “Media,” and “Policies.” In Portugal, an event on “community” brought together 30 people over three days.
International Exchanges – Collaborations with a dozen international partners in four European countries – Romania, Austria, Spain, and Georgia – involving 15 people over a year.
Participation in the TROCA Platform – We participated for three years in the TROCA Platform, attending regular meetings and collecting signatures for the Citizen Initiative, which reached 16,000 signatures in Portugal.
In 2022, on May 15th, Citizenship Academy celebrated its 10th anniversary, revisiting all 16 activities in terms of awareness, community work, networking, and mobilization. Over these ten years, Citizenship Academy engaged with 113 partners, and activities took place in various countries, including Portugal, Romania, Austria, Spain, Georgia, the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Italy. The activities were diverse, ranging from talks, masterclasses, film screenings, public sessions, demonstrations, street football projects, and documentaries.
