And now let's go deeper into..."Sea Beyond"

This EVS project was born from Cascais City Council annual project for Portuguese youngsters: since 1999 Cascais City Council develops annualy the project "Maré Viva" to have youngsters supporting beaches in Cascais and it has been a huge success among local youngsters.
In 2008, Rota Jovem contacted the people responsible forthe youth department in the municipality and proposed to create "Sea Beyond" (...here we are ; ) )as a joint effort to bring to this project an intercultural aspect, joining international youngsters with the Portuguese volunteers!
