In the words of our President:

 "Looking at the history of Portugal and the experience of the Portuguese over the years, we observe a people thirsting to discover, an entrepreneurial people, a brave people who out of nowhere do an all and that of everything takes nothing. People who respect their neighbour, a people who want to make them live, grow, develop. A people who mix, share, live and make lives.

When we prepare to develop and implement in ACIDCA the area of Human Capital, we take in consideration:

​

- the reflection expressed about Portugal and, in particular, with regard to this area, the capacity of higher education institutions to welcome International Students -- by teaching an education of excellence and, at the same time, to create training offers appropriate to the needs of our societies, promoters of human capital training and conducive to the development of institutions;

- the awareness that on the African continent there are hundreds of young people, full of talent, waiting for an opportunity to develop their skills, full of willingness to learn, to discover, to grow, to get wider references.

These two assumptions give shape to area 02. Development of Human Capital: through the Portuguese educational offer, there is the will for training young people from the African continent, helping to create the right conditions to the development and growth of institutions and societies.
