The initiative “Individualidades na Escola” emerged within the scope of “Loulé European City of Sport 2015”, an initiative of the Municipality of Loulé (Division of Sports and Health), in collaboration with the Municipality's School Groups.
This project started in 2014, with 3 sessions, and in 2015 10 events will be held throughout the year. The project “Individualities at School” was designed, according to the municipality, “with a broad perspective, which does not exhaust itself in a calendar of actions but enables the consolidation of lasting ties that allow
potentiate synergies, promoting the creation of value within the municipality's school community from a perspective of social valuing of sport».
The main objectives of the project “pass through the promotion of sport, sporting citizenship, healthy habits and highlight the importance of the school/sport relationship in the present and future of children and adolescents”.
