About
Associação Inspira! is a non-governmental organisation founded in 2017 in Chaves, a small city in the northern hills of Portugal, one of the most rural, isolated and disadvantaged areas of the country.
We focus on two main areas of work: youth opportunity and environmental intervention, aiming at creating a more open, educated, participative and developed local community, at involving young people in the local decisions, in shaping the creation of the future of this region and in protecting and recovering the local nature and our ecological patrimony.
For that we lead frequent actions and diverse local and international programs for volunteering, youth participation, community development, environmental education, intervention actions, civic and democratic education, media literacy, youth entrepreneurship and employment, gender equality and social education.

network
Our network was established following the successful completion of our training course held in Brussels from April 6 – 12, 2023, where 34 dedicated youth workers from Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, Greece, Bulgaria, Portugal, Turkey, and Spain came together to learn, share experiences, and build connections. We are committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive space for all climate enthusiasts. Let’s pave the way for positive change together!
