Project: Rede Construir Juntos (Build Together Network)

Informal network, established in 1997, which currently brings together a considerable number of institutions at national level with responsibility in the area of Children and Youth, and which have in common the development of actions aimed at a more appropriate coordination of efforts to combat social exclusion of disadvantaged groups, including children and young people in risk situations and their families.

In 2004/2005, the Network was revitalized and its objectives redefined.
