“Backup” is a non-governmental and non-profit youth association, born in Vila Real de Santo António (Algarve, Portugal), that aims to promote personal empowerment, community development and enhance youth participation in civil society. We are mostly composed by young people between 16 and 30 years.
We work in several fields like trainings, youth exchanges, volunteering service, youth policies, community development, social inclusion, intercultural dialogue, social entrepreneurship, advocacy, democratic citizenship and human rights education.
Along with the local community and local/regional projects, “Backup” also promotes international projects/activities with an extensive network of partners and in cooperation with other institutions.
