Ashoka
As nossas prioridades em Portugal
Estes Eixos Estratégicos traduzem-se em Prioridades concretizadas em PROGRAMAS.
Os programas da Ashoka são construídos e desenvolvidos através de um trabalho de “equipa de equipas”. Investimos nas pessoas e nas práticas de empreendedorismo colaborativo, algo necessário num mundo em que todos podem ser agentes de transformação social positiva.
Em Portugal a Ashoka está a investir nas 3 prioridades, que acreditamos mais contribuirão para uma mudança do paradigma da educação, preparando crianças e jovens para adquirirem e desenvolver as competências necessárias para se tornarem agentes de mudança para o bem de todos.
Fellows Portugueses
