LAC Hosts Debates on Current Social Issues in Selho São Jorge
El-Balad continues to highlight civic engagement initiatives in Portugal. The Laboratório de Acção Cívica (LAC) is set to host a public debate on current social issues in Selho São Jorge on Sunday, February 22, at 18:00.
LAC’s Commitment to Community Engagement
The LAC aims to foster discussions on public policies through informal conversations. This initiative encourages community participation and seeks to address pressing societal issues.
- Housing
- Mobility
- Health
- Education
- Culture
This upcoming event follows a successful previous program, which attracted over 200 attendees at the Francisco de Holanda secondary school. LAC’s efforts focus on connecting public life to political decisions, enriching civic discourse.
Ponto de Escuta Initiative
The “Ponto de Escuta” serves as the next phase for informal interactions among citizens. LAC emphasizes three main areas of activity:
- Hosting events with public figures
- Encouraging participatory meetings with the community
- Conducting meetings with working groups
Founded approximately six months ago, LAC is a collective of citizens from Guimarães dedicated to enhancing public engagement in political decision-making. Further initiatives will be announced in the upcoming weeks, continuing LAC’s mission to elevate community voices.
