encorajar


Explanation:
A very unusual meaning for the word hero. I thought of what the source text wanted to convey and asked myself what are some attributes of heroes. The first attribute that came to mind was courage, hence my suggestion. Good luck.

notabilizará (as melhores atividades em suas campanhas)


Explanation:
Penso que um verbo esdrúxulo requer uma tradução esdrúxula. :-)

Aparentemente, "hero" como verbo é algo raro em inglês, a ponto de alguns falantes nativos não darem crédito ou questionarem o seu uso: https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/hero-as-a-verb.29186...

Segundo Loob (Senior Member), "hero" significa "tratar ou honrar como herói".

Um herói é alguém "notável por sua coragem, feitos incríveis, generosidade e altruísmo". (Aulete)

Daí surgiu a ideia de traduzir "to hero" por "notabilizar".

notabilizar: Tornar(-se) notável, importante; CELEBRIZAR(-SE)
http://www.aulete.com.br/notabilizar

--------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------

Geralmente, "notabilizar" é usado em referência a pessoas, mas também pode se utilizado para coisas. Exemplos:

"Foi pela ajuda de Paulo que Tom se tornou conhecido no Ceará, ganhando espaço no rádio cearense, onde seu trabalho foi notabilizado." - https://books.google.com/books?id=vytaV2HvdnkC&pg=PA25&lpg=P...

"Esse processo foi notabilizado pela reforma do prédio da Câmara e Cadeia e o da Casa dos Contos; e pela construção do projeto do Jardim Botânico..." - https://books.google.com/books?id=47t5DwAAQBAJ&pg=PA38&lpg=P...

"Contudo, o século XIX foi notabilizado por uma grande descoberta no ramo da biologia." - https://books.google.com/books?id=8wswCgAAQBAJ&pg=PT30&lpg=P...
