A project called Dream Teens (http://www.dreamteens-en.aventurasocial.com/) was developed by Aventura Social Team, in collaboration with the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, the Portuguese Society of Health Psychology, and the participation of researchers from several National Institutions. It aims to create and maintain a network of adolescents with the final objective of giving them visibility and stimulate their participation in their family, school, local and national lives, informing the political decision makers of their needs and proposals.
