Together for a Cause: Take part in UCP's Christmas Solidarity Campaign

The four campi of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa come together for another Christmas Solidarity Campaign, between November 30 and December 17.

UCP associates this initiative to the global movement GivingTuesday, which this year takes place on November 30, and which aims to inspire more generosity around the world, promoting one day a year when we are all called to act.
