We, PES activists from Portugal, invite you to our campaign exchange.

We need to keep our progressive Government; and our Mayors want your activism and expertise. Portugal is going to have a crazy autumn: general elections on the 27 September and local elections on the 4 October. And because we want to keep our progressive government, we want to invite you to help us to reach our goals.

Our 2 Campaign Exchange 2 will take place in two parts: between 22-27 September and between 2-8 October. The first part is dedicated to the general election (for the Government), and the second part to the local elections (Mayors).

We are looking to receive between ten to 15 activists for each exchange. You could of course also stay for the whole time (21 September until 8 October). We will take care of accommodation, transport in Portugal (for the campaign) and food expenses (during campaign actions). We also will sponsor 100 Euros for the flight expenses (except from Spain, where we’ll pay for the whole trip – until 50 Euros).

As usual in our PES activists Campaign Exchanges the basis for selection will be first came first served, and special preference will be given for the activists that want to stay between 22 September until 8 October.

Deadline for registering: 18 September!

For registration and more information, please contact josereissantos@gmail.com or + 351 91 666 52 60.

Looking forward to see you in Portugal and in Lisbon.
All the best,

José Reis Santos (PES activists Portugal national coordinator)
