The Câmara de Lobos association has obtained official recognition as a youth entity for the 2026-2027 biennium.
Through Order no. 202/2026, the Regional Secretariat for Inclusion, Labor and Youth has recognized Teatro Metaphora - Association of Friends of the Arts as a youth association.
The decision was based on the analysis of the association's activity between 2022 and 2024, a period in which more than 50% of its activity was directed at young people aged 30 or under. The association, based in Câmara de Lobos, stood out for the implementation of programs such as Erasmus+ and the European Solidarity Corps, involving thousands of young people in cultural and volunteering projects. The recognition is valid for the biennial period of 2026-2027.
The Regional Government of Madeira has authorized an investment of 1.95 million euros for the rehabilitation of the Church of São João Evangelista.
Three cultural associations in Madeira receive financial support for theater, folklore, and traditional music production in 2026.
The Regional Government grants 10,000 euros to the Casa do Povo de Sao Roque do Faial for organizing events in 2026.
