What is the problem addressed by the commitment? In Portugal, when compared to Northern European countries or Anglo-Saxon countries, civic participation of citizens is very low

How will the commitment contribute to solve it? It can be a means of mobilizing active civic participation in various situations of daily life.

An annual competition of applications for mobile equipment, in order to promote and promote citizenship and active civic participation, as well as greater involvement and training in issues related to political intervention in everyday life, should be organized in collaboration with civil society organizations
