On September 20 and 21 of 2023, the PERICREATIVITY team met at University Institute of Lisbon (ISCTE-IUL) to discuss the theoretical-methodological premises that motivated the project: young people and their political-artistic fields of action, territories often stigmatised, and the public policies that either encourage or domesticate the creative autonomy of young people in these peripheral areas. It was also possible to get to know one of the territories chosen to be part of this research. Through a visit led by Robz, a community leader, the team had the opportunity to learn about the socio-political transformations experienced in Bairro da Torre, based on the artistic intervention of the young residents, motivated by the youth association “Somos Torre” (“We are Torre”) and the Escolhas’ project "Take.it”.
