Lab2PT participates in the Science Meeting 2024 with the publication of the e-poster “100 years in “Prol do Bem Comum”: the posters of the Portuguese League of Social Prophylaxis (1924-2024)”, by Tânia Ferreira (Doctoral Fellow in History of UMinho/Lab2PT), Alexandra Esteves (Professor of the Department of History, UMinho/Lab2PT) and Eduardo Alves (Research Fellow at Lab2PT/UMinho Archeology Unit), with the support of Professor Fernanda Magalhães (Department of History at UMinho) .
The e-poster aims to publicize some of the posters that the Portuguese League for Social Prophylaxis created, at the beginning of the 20th century, as part of the campaigns it directed around raising awareness and promoting health among the population, especially in the city of Porto. The posters testify to the medical-social intervention of this important Porto institution, in times of great gaps in public health in Portugal, in the fight against diseases such as tetanus, syphilis, tuberculosis, cancer, leprosy, as well as relevant social problems such as poverty, begging, child abandonment, mental health, labor rights, among other areas of intervention.
The e-posters will be displayed at the Science and Technology Exhibition, in Videowall format and will also be displayed in the Virtual Gallery, on the website and on the Encontro Ciência 2024 app.
