_Create a “creative community workspace” that is focused on vocational activities and will function as a platform to connect with future employment. 

_Fight against social exclusion, poverty and precariousness, existent in the urban areas of Lisbon and highlighted by Covid-19 pandemic. 


Which necessities is this workshop replying to?

Modules and objectives of the workshops? 

_Regular activities that can develop projects that aim for the commercial production of products produced by the participants under our “Social Brand”. These products will be produced using sustainable strategies and upcycling methods. 

_The workshop is specialised on the artistic and cultural sector, giving specific focus on design, serigraphy, cinema and photography. 

_With this space we want to empower the participant to develop its own work and develop its ability to work in a team, developing its skills of confidence and self-determination. This will be developed during the activities for people to apply in their future and professional life. 

_Developing close relationships, the sense of belonging, that we want to overcome any feelings that are a barrier for people to change their life and fight difficulties. 

_The workshop is an informal environment that starts with the discovery of what the participants likes to learn and develop further, after progress to a more detailed learning course and attend regular sessions, following the whole process of making, since the design, production and exhibition of the outcome.
