JAM!
About the project
In 2025, A Lateral took on the management of JAM! — Young People, Art and Change, an initiative of Artemrede with the support of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.
The project supports young people aged 18 to 25 in creating creative and innovative initiatives that contribute to the development of their communities, through training, mentoring and financial support.
A Lateral also provides advisory support to O Ninho Studio, one of the projects funded by JAM!, in the Encosta da Barata neighbourhood in Abrantes. This work contributes to strengthening its capacity for community mobilisation and local involvement.
