Preamble
Associação Check-IN – Cooperação e Desenvolvimento naturally focuses on young people with less privileged access to information and, consequently, to mobility project applications, whether because of geographic location, economic circumstances or personal condition. Through a close working network between its registered office and local groups, CHECK-IN can bring its purposes to more young people more effectively.
