Aventura Marão Clube (AMC) is an associative organization created in 1993 by a group of young people of amarante and by now it has around 240 members. Te main objective is to promote healthy lifestyles among the population (especially youth). This organization is divided in three sections: mountain biking, canoeing and fair trade. since 1998, we participate in actions of promotion and training at national and international youth programs. In 2000, we started to promote international work camps about different themes such as environmental preservation, archaeology or fair trade and upholding the values of solidarity, cooperation, sustainable development, youth participation, etc.
In 2008, AMC presented a project to the municipality to run and coordinate the youth center of amarante, accepting the huge challenge of leading a public space. the vocation and experience in working with young people (particularly in mobility and active participation), together with the chance that the space offered and the vision of an integrated project were the key factors to make this initiative a reality.
This marriage between AMC, a local youth association, and the youth center of amarante, a space of public ownership, is already bearing much fruit and remains open to all people with ideas, projects and interesting proposals. so we let the challenge for a serious commitment: ready to join us?!
The project has 3 main actions:
- local youth initiatives – to promote the articulation between local youth programs/projects and approach them to young people.
- active youth participation – to encourage the active participation in actions and activities related to youth associations, mobility, intercultural learning, etc.
- support for the activities of the youth centre – accommodation for participants (and other groups) with the possibility of a complement of formation and workshops.
