Related with this last project, three other moments were included in the multiplier event program: the presentation of the Endireita project, by Margarida Santos, a personal testimony of a prime example of resilience by Johnson Semedo that presented the speech “Resilience in the first person”, and the certificates attribution to the adolescents that participated in the project.
