On 4 July, the Ponta D\u2019\u00c1gua community hosted the second edition of Kumunidadi Fest, an event that once again brought the community together in an atmosphere of celebration, learning and community-building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The initiative was organised by CUFA Cabo Verde and the Macan\u00e3 Association, in partnership with the Institute of Educational Sciences (ICE \u2013 Portugal), CUFA Spain, through the Freestyle People project, WeCare, the Social Development Hub, the Comunidade365 programme, Acarinhar and the Cape Verdean Olympic Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The main aim of this edition was to promote exchange between the student volunteers from ICE in Portugal and the young athletes from the Macan\u00e3 Association. Following a week of training in youth leadership, community work and volunteering, the participants took an active role in organising and running all the festival\u2019s activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
