Catholic University freshers to clean Costa da Caparica beach

On 3 September, more than 200 new students from five degree programmes at the Faculty of Human Sciences of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa will join staff in a clean-up of Praia da Mata, Costa da Caparica. The event combines the students' welcome session with an environmental citizenship activity, including a briefing on marine litter, a beach clean-up and waste monitoring, followed by analysis of the collected rubbish. It forms part of the faculty's annual FCH Solidária project and is carried out with the Associação Bandeira Azul as part of its environmental education work.
