The Popular Youth of Madeira (JP Madeira) calls for greater appreciation of non-formal education in policies for new generations, arguing that youth development extends beyond school and career preparation.
The organization held a coasteering activity to underscore the value of experiences that foster skills like autonomy, responsibility, decision-making, and respect for the environment. JP Madeira believes youth policies should connect associations, schools, and other entities, promoting initiatives in sports, environment, and volunteering.
The group highlights Madeira's natural geography, including its sea and mountains, as a unique educational asset that encourages active lifestyles and environmental awareness. They assert that autonomous, active youth connected to their community are better prepared to lead the future.
