“Será que sei?” A week to think about how we practice citizenship
Between September 25 and October 3, Citizenship Week “Será que Sei?” (Do I Know?) will take place in various locations at IPL Benfica Campus.
This is a civic and political literacy initiative, open to the public, with several activities that invite reflection on our condition as citizens and to deepen knowledge about the local elections, as the October 12 elections approach.
Organized by the UNESCO Chair of Communication, Media and Information Literacy and Citizenship, at the School of Communication and Media Studies (IPL), the Citizenship Week counts on the partnership of several entities.
Everyone can participate in any of the moments planned during this week.
The full program is available here.
