Education and Knowledge

We promote the access to inclusive quality education, entrepreneurism and social innovation. Instilling a change in the behaviour of young people and the communities by acknowledging the merit of students and teachers.

Education Projects are essentially about promoting learning opportunities for all. It is with the mission of raising awareness and making the entire community responsible for the importance of education and citizenship that we promote and implement such initiatives.

The focus of the developed projects is based on the challenges of sustainability, posed by the necessity of preservation of our Planet, where it is intended to recognize the merit, of students and teachers, entrepreneurship and innovation.

Partnership with Bagos d’Ouro Association

About a quarter of the Portuguese population, 23%, are at risk of poverty or exclusion, those most affected are single-parent families and those with three or more dependent children. The Northern Region is one of the regions with the highest poverty rate in the country and in Europe, particularly in the communities located in the Douro. (*Sources: Eurostat, 2015 and 2017).

Promoting education is one of the most valid ways to reverse the cycle of social exclusion, a cause we share with Bagos d'Ouro Association share.

The partnership enables 145 children and young people to be monitored and receive school support and for their accomplishments to be recognised, by awarding them with social grants. This seeks to ensure that young people oppose their fate and build a path to success.

History

The Ocean Talks consist in an exchange of ideas from several experts in the area of environmental and maritime life, whose goal is to deepen the knowledge about the ocean, so we can protect it.

In 2019, the 2nd edition of this event was held at the Museu do Mar, in Cascais, which promoted the discussion on the opportunities of the Portuguese Sea and the creation of value around the topic of the Oceans.

Considered by many to be the Nobel Prize for Teaching, the Global Teacher Prize is an initiative that rewards teachers for excellence in education. In Portugal the competition is now going in its third edition with the support of the Galp Foundation and will once again distinguish the Portuguese teacher who is elected as the best of the year with a prize of 30 thousand euros.

In Mozambique, the opportunity that a woman has to pursue her studies or to build a career still is extremely limited. Only 31% of girls move from primary to high school. 40% of these young women go through early pregnancies and 48% have premature marriages.

These data are the result of social and cultural pressures and the lack of resources in the contexts in which they operate.

Given this reality, Galp Foundation joins Girl Move on the definition and implementation of the Believe and Lead programmes.

The Cria-Te Movement arose to challenge the Portuguese to create, today, their tomorrow. In partnership with Rock in Rio, it is a Galp project for Education, inspired by music and with the purpose of awakening the energy of each one of us. It is an invitation for us to share gestures, decisions, people who changed the course of our lives and how we achieved all that we are today.

With the energy of Cria-te, each one of us is the inspiration to build a World with more future. The project will unfold in several actions throughout the year, raising the energy of all of us with musical events, solidarity actions, documentaries, inspiring content and much more.
