2011.1.4. Portugal - School Mail

Cover from Portugal. Two special stamps were issued in 2010.
The middle one is depicts the history of freedoms and the right stamp is form a set of three stamps. Since 2006 the Portuguese Postal Services (CTT – Correios de Portugal) have been working in partnership with the National Reading Plan (NRP), a combined initiative of the Ministry of Education, with the Ministry of Culture and the Office of the Ministry for Parliamentary Affairs, whose goal is to elevate the literacy levels of the Portuguese.
The CTT and the NRP have therefore launched the 4th edition of the “Where does your imagination take you?” programme and invited several schools in the country to take part in a variety of initiatives, such as promoting the activity “Where does a stamp take you?”
This year, the theme “The CTT protect the environment” was launched, in keeping with the new positioning of the brand “CTT. With you for a sustainable future”. The students’ work demonstrated a strong environmental awareness, specifically regarding issues of environmental protection.( from PTT wedsite).
Thank you, Jose.
