ABOUT US
Beginning its mission on September 26, 1990, the Associação Juvenil de Peniche has already worked with countless children and young people from the city of Peniche, actively participating in the society in which it operates.
The AJP operates in three main areas:
The Free Time Activities Center (CATL), for children aged 6 to 12, aims to ensure that all children have a safe space with adequate monitoring. CATL serves as an extension of hours during academic and non-academic periods and has a cooperation agreement with social security.
The International Projects, where AJP receives volunteers from all over Europe and the rest of the World, making them an integral part in the education of CATL children, thus promoting a more conscious growth of equality and social inclusion, accepting cultural differences and valuing traditions.
Likewise, the AJP also offers exchange opportunities in Europe where young people have the opportunity to get to know different cultures and lifestyles up close, as well as develop and discuss ideas related to the chosen theme. These projects, under the Erasmus+ Programme, are one of the great pillars of AJP and which have had the most positive effects on the community.
Finally, the Cultural and Environmental Projects, where Book Fairs and environmental protection projects stand out.
The Book Fair has been organized by the AJP for more than two decades at the Clube Recreativo Penichense, taking place annually in the summer, at Easter and at Christmas. During these periods, the Book Fair receives writers and storytellers through the cultural program, developed in parallel with the Municipality.
Within the scope of the Blue Flag Project, we collaborate with the Municipality of Peniche in promoting various environmental education activities on the seven beaches awarded with the Blue Flag, the aim of which is to incite young people to the importance of cleaning beaches and oceans.
