Abrantes 2017 - Regional Selection Conference of EYP Portugal

Dear followers,

After 2 months of the start of the session, we proudly present you the last piece of output.
Watch out the faces of Abrantes 2017 through http://short.giroptic.io/4P3iwcjvcnSeSp!

We hope that Abrantes 2017 has accomplished its aim to successfully develop, both personal and professionally, all its participants, as well as to provide them with an educational and fruitful experience.

We would like to, once again, thank all of our sponsors, supporters and participants for everything!

See you somewhere in Europe!
We wish you a merry Christmas and a Happy 2018!

We would like to kindly thank another one of our supporters. Orbitur, which having already supported two of our National Selection Conferences, has become one of the main partners of EYP Portugal for the year of 2017.

A pioneer in the Outdoor Tourism business, Orbitur holds a leading position in the Camping sector in Portugal, almost since the beginning of its activity. Aware of the responsibilities underlying its leading position within nature tourism, Orbitur has an active role in the promotion of Portugal as a destination, and is consequently present in the main tourism fairs almost all over Europe.

Since 1960, Orbitur has been sharing the same passion for nature as we, young people. It is their aim to contribute for the sustainable development and make the planet a better place to live. Camp with your family, camp with your friends, or even camp alone... Orbitur will always make sure that your holidays will be full of colour, good memories and happiness.

We are deeply thankful for their support and truly happy to be able to count on their partnership! Thank you, Orbitur!

Abrantes 2017 could not have been a success without the help of our partners.

So, first of all, we would like to extend a big thank you to the Municipality of Abrantes, which welcomed us in their city with opened arms. Without their kind help, we could not have ensured all the logistical details needed to make this Regional Selection Conference happen.

We would also like to praise all the local entities who hosted the event throughout the three days: Regimento de Apoio Militar de Emergência de Abrantes, Escola Secundária Manuel Fernandes, Cineteatro São Pedro and Mercado Diário de Abrantes.

Thank you all very much!

Dear followers,

We would like to thank DJ DYSVA for his amazing performance during the Theme Party. His endless energy, commitment, excitement and professionalism were very much appreciated by all participants! Without his help, our work would definitely be more difficult and challenging!

DJ DYSVA also shared some words with us regarding the session’s topic:
“In Abrantes 2017, I think I gained more experience. I’ve confirmed my theory, that is, regardless our differences (region, age, etc), music unites us all! And when the classics leave the DJ table, everyone dance without any excuse!
It was the first time I played in a "municipal market", so I have to admit that it was a bit surprising, but what would be the life of a DJ without a performance in such place?
Thank you for the opportunity!”

And so we have reached the end of all media projects, and with the final session photo the job of the media team of Abrantes 2017 has concluded. Hope you enjoyed all the projects and output!

And so we reach the finale of the event: General assembly followed by closing ceremony.

Did you think you'd just go to bed without a good night video??? well think again. One of our amazing journos decided to really explore the different languages that Abrantes had, which turned into a tong twister challenge. Enjoy!
