The series “Faz Acontecer” (Make it Happen), a television programme written by André Leonardo, in which he travels around Portugal, backpack on his back, meeting people who have made things happen, will also pass through the Azores.
At a press conference held today in Horta, André Leonardo said: “When I started preparing this series that will show people with fibre throughout Portugal, people who, with sacrifice and will, went ahead and made things happen, I knew that I also wanted to visit ”my Azores'. We are a region with excellent success stories and I want the rest of the country to get to know these people who make it happen from the middle of the Atlantic to the world!".
The Regional Government is the main partner. At the session to present this partnership, Regional Youth Director Lúcio Rodrigues emphasised that of the 10 episodes that make up the series, “two will be recorded in the Azores, on the islands of Faial and Pico, where young people from Terceira will learn about the stories and experiences of local entrepreneurs”.
The Regional Youth Director also stressed that “this initiative is in line with the Azorean government's strategy to promote entrepreneurship and an entrepreneurial culture among young people”, giving an example of this with the “Entrepreneurial Education: The Road to Success” programme, which has been running for seven consecutive editions in the region's schools and for which the young André Leonardo is the ambassador.
The series “Faz Acontecer” will start airing on Canal Q from the end of April.
