The program is being implemented at Colégio S. Francisco de Assis Luanda Sul. According to a statement quoted by the newspaper Eco, the program is being carried out for the second time and in a curricular format with two classes of the ninth grade, in an initiative that encompasses 42 students.
Quoted in the note, João Baracho, executive director of the CDI, said that it is "a great pride and satisfaction to be able to take this program to other countries, which intends to be the tool that enables young people to be trained and make the world in which we live more sustainable".
"We want to continue to impact, stimulate and develop the creative and entrepreneurial capacity of young people", he said, cited by Eco.
Among the list of program expansion objectives, João Baracho stated that they aspire to reach all Portuguese-speaking countries as well as all Portuguese communities abroad: "In the expansion objectives of Apps for Good, beyond countries of Portuguese official language, there is also the desire to reach all Portuguese communities abroad, in order to be able to spread our culture, also investing in the promotion and sharing of the global knowledge of our young people".
In addition to Angola, the program is also being applied, for the first time, in Timor-Leste.
'Apps for Good' refers to a technological educational program that invites students and teachers to develop applications for mobile phones, showing the capacity of technology to transform the world and the communities in which they operate.
