PORDATA

Francisco Manuel dos Santos Foundation
(hover the name)

Our class has gone to the school auditorium to attend a conference on demography in Portugal. We were invited to this conference because half of the students attend Geography and Demography is one of the components of Geography. 

This conference was presented by Maria João Valente Rosa, a demographer and professor in Universidade Nova de Lisboa. She also directs the Project PORDATA - Foundation Francisco Manuel dos Santos.

The conference was based on the presentation of graphs from the 2011 census. With these charts we can observe, discuss, make comparisons and draw conclusions.

For me, this conference was very helpful because I've been thinking in following this career in the future and I realized how the work of Pordata is quite helpful in our society.
