Effective social inclusion

(Re)Writing Our Neighborhood is a three-year project, promoted and coordinated by the Municipality of Braga,which brings together a set of initiatives that seek to promote the effective inclusion of communities living in three social neighborhoods in Braga: Social Neighborhood of Enguardas, Social Neighborhood of Santa Tecla and Picoto Housing Complex.

This project took place between 2017 and 2020, in the context of the implementation of the Strategic Urban Development Plan and the Integrated Action Plan for Disadvantaged Communities.

The objective was not only to give new life to these neighborhoods, with the renewal of infrastructure, but also to address failures of social integration, employment and training of local leaders with a set of activities defined in this operation. These activities end up being defined as integrative proposals for active inclusion, with innovative programs of social experimentation and territorial, pedagogical, social and artistic animation, which incite entrepreneurship and employment in these communities.

This initiative had numerous partnerships, among which was found the Bomfim Foundation, through the work of the Bomfim Conservatory.
