On the 18th of June, Lusófona University hosted the second Youth Workshop, with the theme Translation. The aim was to empower young people to innovate youth work in the field of translation, editing written content, and collaborative work in language learning.

The trainer was Professor Anabela Mateus, who has been working in the area for 30 years and is a researcher in the Storyline Project. Her vast experience in both translation and teaching created the perfect environment to help the young trainees to develop new skills.

As for the first Youth Workshop, due to Covid-19 safety rules, the workshop was online, but everyone enjoyed it very much!  

On the 13th of March, Lusófona University hosted the first Youth Workshop, with the theme
Storytelling. The workshop was oriented for youth between the age of 16 to 29, who have interest in
cultural heritage and social inclusion matters, journalism and language learning.

The aim of the workshop was to provide skills in storytelling. To achieve that goal, we invited the
journalist Mónica Menezes, who thought the youth about the power of the stories, and in-house
Professor Carla Sousa, who taught the youth about inclusive interview techniques.

The Covid-19 Pandemic didn’t allow us to meet in person, however with the effort and dedication of
both the youth and the trainers, the workshop on Storytelling was a success!
