Erasmus+: Training Among Activists In Europe

The Citizenship Academy celebrated its 10th anniversary on May 15th and, in partnership with “Setenta e Quatro”, we talked online around the question “do we live in the safest country in the world or in the one on CMTV?” The Citizenship Academy motto was launched by the people who organized the Geração à Rasca (Distressed Generation) Protest, on March 12, 2011, which inaugurated a new form of citizen participation in Europe, by being called on social media and without party or institutional support. Just over a year later, on May 15, 2012, the Citizenship Academy was registered, with the aim of boosting active citizenship and building roots of development with principles of social, economic and environmental sustainability. The anniversary celebration will take place next Tuesday, at 9:30 pm, in a conversation broadcast live on Citizenship Academy Facebook. Participation will be open to the public, through this link.

Journalism and security in the 10 years of Academia Cidadã

A 18 de janeiro de 2022, às 21h30, convidamos-te a conversar com:  ANA GOMES, segunda candidata mais votada em eleições presidenciais (2021), ex-Eurodeputada, ex-Embaixadora, membro do Partido Socialista.  SUSANA COROADO, Presidente da Transparência Internacional Portugal, investigadora no Instituto de Ciências Sociais da Universidade de Lisboa e bolseira Re:Constitution.  A política corrompe todas as pessoas que nela se envolvem?  Estará a corrupção relacionada com a economia e/ou a cultura de um país?  Serão umas pessoas mais corruptíveis que outras por questões genéticas ou étnicas? Filho de corrupto, corrupto será?  Os políticos são o reflexo de um povo? Está apenas presente na política ou existe microcorrupção generalizada no nosso país?  Em Portugal, 88% das pessoas acreditam que há corrupção no Governo e 41% pensam que a corrupção aumentou no último ano, segundo um estudo da Transparência Internacional feito em 2020.  A cada dois meses, na terceira terça-feira, lançamos uma nova pergunta baseada num preconceito veiculado por movimentos de extrema-direita. Vamos refletir e encontrar estratégias para desmontar discursos discriminatórios, xenófobos e simplistas.  Conversas #nuncamais […]
