Does being indifferent bother you?  

Have you ever thought about how you could be an agent of change in your Faculty or with those around you?

Take On is a good opportunity to promote the difference!

Take On began in the school year 2021-2022, following the Task Force formed in 2021 under the project Transforma Portugal, coordinated by GAE, promoting volunteering initiatives (continuous and occasional), activities focused on environmental sustainability and other campaigns.

Mission
