Genesis of the Solidact Programme

The SolidAct Programme - Solidarity in Action 2010/2013, aims to apply ESHTE's know-how, resources and means at the service of the community, fostering voluntary solidarity action and cooperation as catalysts for maturity, multidimensional understanding, global worldview, and experimentation with the skills acquired during the educational process, in adverse and challenging conditions. 

This programme is subdivided into two strategic lines of intervention:
ESHTE ComunidAct 2010/13 - geared towards outreach intervention (local and regional levels)
ESHTE WorldAct 2010/13, aimed at intervention in developing countries, particularly Portuguese-speaking countries.
