Abstract(s)

Sao Tome and Principe is a tiny small island country with a very young population, 60% are under 25, of working age population with a voice to intervene in society and its transformation. Although there have been many improvements in education and health care, the truth is that there is a problem of deprivation, with many children and young people suffering from social exclusion, violence and lack of opportunities. Knowing that education is the most powerful weapon to transform a society, a cultured and educated population will have decision making power and the ability to defend themselves and fight for their rights.
