Programa Contact is on its 20th edition and since 1997 it was able to provide an international professional experience to 4742 young graduates in all fields. The majority of these young people was offered the possibility of having a professional career abroad. Programs like this, contrary to a regular self-expatriation experience, are regarded as very positive considering that they formally contribute to the increase of its attendee’s skills. As a matter of fact this program has been receiving national and international recognitions and and it was considered as good practice by OECD (in 2008) and by European Union (in 2010) in the context of contribution for the potential of cultural and creative Industries in particular that of the SME’s. n November 2013 it was invited by SFE—integrated in the initiative school to work—to be present in the European Union presidency in Vilnius, Lithuania as one of the 20 best practices initiatives ever co-financed by SFE in order to explain how it works and to be replicated in other European Union Countries. In 2015–2016, it has been selected to be one of the success programs supported by community funds promoted at local (country) level.
