Peripheral Creativities: youth, art and public policies in segregated territories

PERICREATIVITY aims to understand the creativity of young people from segregated territories in Portugal's two largest cities - Lisbon and Porto. It is a project that seeks to deepen knowledge about the creative and artistic dynamics of these young people, in conjunction with the analysis of public social inclusion policies aimed at them. The aim is to provide new intersectional and participatory perspectives that promote social emancipation and combat the social marginalization of young people. PERICREATIVITY is funded by the Foundation for Science and Technology and coordinated by Otávio Raposo - University Institute of Lisbon (CIES / ISCTE-IUL) and Lígia Ferro - Institute of Sociology of the University of Porto (IS-UP / FLUP).
