João's first contact with e.p.a. was in 2017, when he was a participant with the Eco-Estlistas in the Palermo International Youth Exchange and since that date he was involved in more exchanges and other activities with e.p.a., such as the annual meetings in Hamburg. João studied Social Work and did his internship in a Refugee Centre in Lisbon. Now he works in the Junta de Freguesia de Marvila (Local Autorithy).
