Seminary Prevent and Innovate: Reality or Myth – Preventive Rave

The prevention of risky situations and behaviours remains a top priority on the agenda of contemporary societies, attracting the interest of the community — particularly criminologists, educators, psychologists, and social workers. Continuing the tradition established in 2018 and the partnerships that have been strengthened since then, Lusófona University is promoting the 2025 edition. We look forward to your participation in this seminar.
