The Universidade Católica Portuguesa website has a new page dedicated to the inspiring testimonies of UCP students who are making a difference around the world through volunteering.
This page highlights the importance of volunteering as a powerful tool for personal and social transformation, showing that, with dedication and solidarity, it is possible to make a positive impact anywhere in the world.
We hope that these testimonies, which reflect the diversity of experiences and the wealth of learning acquired on the ground, will serve as inspiration and motivation for all those who wish to get involved in volunteering projects.
