São Vicente: Eighteen young people take part in the Miss & Mister EICM contest in celebration of 50 years of independence

Mindelo, Jul 3 (Inforpress) - The Miss & Mister event of the Mindelo Industrial and Commercial School (EICM, known as the Technical School) will take place on Saturday 5th, with the participation of 18 young people and will commemorate the 50th anniversary of independence.

The competition is being organised by the EICM 2025 Finalists Committee, in partnership with the school's former student Marcos Tienne, who was twice a mister at the school, and the well-known Mindel instructor Fabrício Cardoso.

As one of the co-producers, Fabrício Cardoso told Inforpress that they decided to combine the useful with the pleasant and celebrate young beauty alongside one of the country's most important anniversaries, national independence.

‘I intend to give the beauty contest a playful touch, like a masterclass on the life and journey of Amílcar Cabral, the causes that culminated in the independence of Cape Verde and Guinea Bissau, the valorisation of our cultural identity, among other important subjects to be experienced on the day we commemorate the 50th anniversary of the date,’ explained the same source.
