Comunidade XXI is a young and dynamic group promoted by Rosto Solidário, aimed at fostering connection, sharing, learning, and social entrepreneurship among youth in Santa Maria da Feira.

Targeting young people aged 16 to 25, the group focuses on testing, promoting, and generating impact through youth projects and mobilities, including Eurodesk initiatives.

What we do:

• Monthly meetings with thematic, training, and recreational activities
• Access to an online community with priority access to exchanges, training, and Eurodesk opportunities
• Group discussions on topics such as sustainability, human rights, and mental health
• Participation in events, international exchanges, and training
• Involvement in volunteering and active citizenship initiatives

 

Our team:

• 12 engaged young people
• 3 youth workers
• Supporting adult volunteers
• 7 meetings held so far (4 in-person + 3 planning sessions)

 

Here are the words of Diana, one of our volunteers, for those thinking about joining:

“Hello dear volunteer!

It’s with great joy that we welcome you to our Community!

I’ve always felt welcomed by Rosto Solidário, and I’m sure you’ll also relate to the values we live by here. 

You’ll have opportunities to grow, challenge yourself, and pitch ideas — even the most out-of-the-box ones!

Make the most of everything this experience has to offer.

May this be the beginning of a beautiful journey!

With love,
Diana”
