About

More than an association.

Pó de Ser is a space for discovery, growth, and expression, created to support young people in finding their essence and turning it into impact in the world.

How it started

The association was born in Palmela in 2022 from the encounter of friends shaped by Erasmus+ experiences. The shared desire was simple: to create meaningful opportunities for young people, with more truth, more humanity, and more space to be.

The idea behind Pó de Ser

The name Pó de Ser carries two dimensions. On one hand, it suggests that anything can be. On the other, it speaks of something small, almost invisible, yet full of potential: particles of identity, creativity, sensitivity, and change. We believe each person carries something unique that deserves to be lived, expressed, and shared.

What moves us

Authenticity

We want to create spaces where each person can show up as they are, without masks, and with the freedom to explore their identity.

Human connection

We value real encounters, listening, empathy, and collective processes where growth happens with others, not only alone.

Meaningful creation

We use art, well-being, mobility, and participation as tools for personal and community transformation.

Areas of action

Art & Creativity

We use artistic expression, performance, music, theatre, and creation as tools for discovery and transformation.

We create spaces for pause, reflection, emotional awareness, and individual and collective care.
