Location

Located in the Ameijeira de Baixo urbanization in Lagos, the Espaço Jovem (Youth Space) is situated on Rua Gil Vicente. This area is distinguished by being predominantly residential, offering a glimpse into the daily life and neighborhood atmosphere of the Lacobrigense community, away from the hustle and bustle of the more touristy areas in the city center.

A Community Meeting Point

The Espaço Jovem serves as a dynamic hub within the Lagos community. It is a meeting point designed to promote various activities, encompassing cultural, sports, and recreational initiatives. Beyond being a leisure space, it also functions as a center for training sessions and information sharing, reflecting the local interest in different areas of knowledge and social interaction.

A Space with History and Versatility

This building has a history linked to education, having once been part of the Gil Eanes Secondary School. This heritage gives it a particular character. One of its most distinctive features is the rehabilitation of an old amphitheater, which now integrates into its facilities as a multifunctional room. This configuration allows the Espaço Jovem to host a wide range of events, from presentations to other group activities, highlighting its architectural and functional versatility for various community projects.

Comfort and Accessibility

To optimize the user experience, the Espaço Jovem has undergone improvement interventions. In the game area, for example, a removable shading structure was installed, contributing to greater comfort during its use, especially on brighter days. The building's exterior also benefited from an aesthetic renovation, presenting a well-maintained image. Additionally, the location offers public internet access points, facilitating communication and information research for all who frequent the space.
