In Funchal, a city with a graduation tradition stretching back to 1889, municipal authorities have gathered schools, families, students, and public agencies around a shared question: how does a community protect its young people without diminishing the rituals that mark their passage into adulthood? Since tightening its oversight framework in 2023, the city has recorded zero incidents at graduation events — a quiet testament to what becomes possible when celebration and responsibility are treated not as opposites, but as partners.

Students and families benefit from safer graduation events with reduced alcohol-related incidents. Event venues and hospitality businesses face stricter compliance requirements (alcohol sales restrictions, time limits until 00h00-01h00), potentially reducing revenue from graduation celebrations but improving operational predictability.
Establishes regulatory framework for youth events with enforcement by multiple agencies (PSP, ARAE, municipal authorities). Creates precedent for shared responsibility model between public entities, schools, parents, and organizers. May lead to similar protocols in other municipalities and expanded regulation of youth-oriented events.
