"Racial Discrimination in Schools – When we hear the experiences and recommendations of youth"
In this booklet, 19 young people from different origins travel through their daily life in school and share their experiences and recommendations about racial and ethnic discrimination.

Getting to know each other better”, is a booklet that brings together experiences and recommendations from more than 400 Pros of Education on the impact that the quality of relationships has on learning.

ComParte Youngsters at the Pilot Schools: In 2015, the ideas of the Pros came in the form of publications, with a booklet being given to each of the schools that participated in the pilot project, in the Lisbon area. Thus, 7 publications were produced, involving a total of 590 Pros of Education, who were challenged to share their experience on various topics inherent to education with their school's management and direction.
COMPARTE & INTEGRATION
This booklet was created with the aim of carrying out a mid-term evaluation of the Program MEERU Aproxima and the impact of its Proximity Teams on the integration of refugee families (2022). It ends up exploring in depth the emotional experiences and the informal support network of these families, thus bringing clues that contribute as inspiration for the development of integration policies in the local and national system, through the activation of the civil community.
This booklet gathers the sharings and recommendations of 38 Pros of Integration about the Welcome Kit – a reception kit, developed and offered by the High Commissioner for Migration (ACM) to the majority of refugees and asylum seekers arriving in Portugal. It aims to contribute to an update of the current Welcome Kit (2022) so that it is more adjusted with what can make a refugee feel welcome in the first few days in their new host country.
“What is it like to start from zero?” is a booklet developed within the scope of Phase I of the National Mapping project (2020-2021), with the aim of portraying the experience of reception and integration of refugees all over the country. It portrays the experiences and recommendations of 60 refugees and asylum seekers, residing in Castelo Branco, Guimarães, Coimbra and Sintra, for local and national decision-makers and professionals working to continuously improve integration structures in Portugal.
As part of World Refugee Day 2021, ComParte listened to the Pros of Integration about their perspective on this day, with the aim of understanding what it means and how they consider it should be marked. To this end, we started with the word “refugee” and how they feel when they are treated like that. This preliminary publication brings together their sharings and reflections, aiming to inspire professionals and decision-makers who work with refugee people and who organize activities on this day to do so in a way that refugees feel that this day represents them.
