About Portugal Agorais a citizens' project that aims to promote a vision for our country based on 4 dimensions (Portugal Attractive, Portugal Knowledge, Portugal Entrepreneurial and Portugal Resilient), with the aim of facilitating the transition from strategy to action - generating concrete proposals for public policies or civil society initiatives. The project was built by a group of citizens (more than 400 signatories) who volunteered to promote a platform for realizing this vision. Its aim will be to consolidate sets of thematic proposals for intervention and their dissemination and public discussion.
