José Lucas, member of the OPP Board, represented the Order in an event promoted by the CPCJ of Vila Real, which took place at the Teatro Municipal de Vila Real, on emotional competencies and entrepreneurship. These competencies are essential for healthy growth and promote improved relationships with others and better skills in resolving problems and conflict.

Developing pro-activity, learning about tolerating risk, managing uncertainty and mobilising personal resources towards one's goals, are crucial factors which contribute towards an entrepreneurial attitude.

The OPP is sensitive to these issues and privileges this type of initiative, as can be seen by the role that entrepreneurship and project management have in the training course for the Order's trainees.
