International youth exchange "Colouring Amadora's neighbourhoods"
The youth exchange explored the reality of the relocated and degraded neighbourhoods of Amadora, which is the largest city in Portugal by population. It forms a conurbation with the Portuguese capital Lisbon and both cities share the same subway, bus and train network. It is also a major residential suburb of the capital and the landscape is dominated by large apartment blocks and some industry. Amadora is also home to a big community of African immigrants, mostly from Angola and Cape Verde. Although major rehabilitation plans have been started, Amadora is still regarded as a city with a crime rate higher than the national average and notorious for its traffic jams.
