Feedback

“This is the 2nd year that I have participated as a jury member in Teach for Portugal’s Pitch Day in partnership with the Vasco Vieira de Almeida Foundation. I could not be more pleased and aware of the tremendous contribution this initiative makes to the life of these young people, who are so eager to learn. This event, filled with contagious energy, brings together professionals from various fields and young people intent on doing more, making an impact on their communities, and putting forward ideas that can make a real difference. It was a pleasure to hear them and to feel the commitment that they brought to their presentation, and I believe that they left the event with great tips on how to improve their professional communication.”
