Impact

Real impact is measured in people.

We believe education transforms when it sparks curiosity, strengthens skills and inspires new ways of thinking and acting.

The numbers tell part of our story.

The impact we leave on people tells the rest.

EVA Project — Em Voz Alta

During the 2025/2026 school year, the EVA – Em Voz Alta project was implemented in three schools in the municipality of Coimbra, through in-person sessions for lower and upper secondary students.

In total, five sessions were held, reaching ten classes and approximately 240 students.

To assess the impact of the intervention, a voluntary evaluation questionnaire was applied at the end of each session. It was answered by 86 students, around 35.8% of all participants, forming the sample used in the analysis presented in the following sections.

The vast majority of participants (80.2%) say they will reflect more before sharing content on social media or other platforms.

This indicator reveals a positive change in students' behavioural intentions, signalling that the project contributed not only to knowledge acquisition but also to more responsible digital practices.

More than seven in ten students (72.1%) say they feel more prepared to critically analyse information available online.

This result confirms that the EVA project strengthens essential media literacy and intellectual autonomy skills, enabling young people to interpret information more rigorously.
