Education & Community

 

Developing happier and stronger communities with freedom and education.

Our sister company, Centro de Arte, Technologia e Creatividade Humana (CATCH) intends to share its knowledge with the community on preserving and revitalizing the habitat and cultural heritage through active participation and biodiversity initiatives.

The endeavors are designed to help develop artistry skills, teamwork, and confidence.

We work together with associations and social entities so that together we can make a difference.

Selected Projects

Permaculture

LocationAlmada, Portugal

We are in the process of implementing regenerative farming and Permaculture. Permaculture comprehends the holistic growth of agricultural ecosystems in a self-sufficient and ecological way. This form of agriculture draws inspiration from nature to develop synergetic farming systems based on crop diversity, resilience, organic productivity, and sustainability.

We have planted over 450 trees, with more to cultivate over time. Our objective is to revitalize the land to improve the environment, accommodating the wants and needs of the guests. We already have employed four people to set up a permaculture test field plantation, which is up and running.

We restore the land, feed local families with our harvest, support the community and take care of the environment.

Preserving the Lusitano Horse

LocationAlmada, Portugal

The Lusitano horse is one of the oldest horse breeds in the world, dating back to 1700 BC. Our goal is to help preserve the Lusitano horse in association with Quinta de Montelusitanos, a certified member of the Associação Portuguesa de Criadores do Cavalo Puro Sangue Lusitano (APSL) 506. (Portuguese Association of Purebred Lusitano Horse).

Furthermore, we are offering an equestrian center. In doing this, we can create a safe and controlled environment to help protect and restore this specific breed.

 

For your comfort and user experience, we only publish a selection of our projects.

Partnerships & Collaborations

In collaboration with Nosso Tejo we provide and support our sponsor Lifeshakers Associação with workspaces and materials to create a boat craftsman school for underprivileged children from local families.

Lifeshakers Associação believes that each young person has the talent, energy, and creativity needed to overcome disadvantageous circumstances and can transform their ideas into positive changes for society when given the opportunity.

They teach young kids essential skills such as restoring traditional Portuguese boats called catraios or Permaculture to develop self-sustainable and regenerative farming.

NOVA University Lisbon has partnered with our company to launch the Innovation District. This project aims to create a new global city in Almada, combining a unique and sustainable lifestyle in a new environment of innovation and technological knowledge.

The project's first steps started in 2019, involving several owners and investors and with strategic support from the Municipality of Almada. It is situated in Monte da Caparica and Porto Brandão and is distinguishable by the potential of innovative discoveries. The Innovation District will create a new, modern, pioneering city through its landscape and unique natural conditions. It will be at the forefront of ideas and innovations, attracting national and international companies and people.

The Innovation District comprises a total area of 399 hectares of intervention, of which 110 hectares are green areas. An investment with an estimated amount of more than 800 million euros for its implementation. Among the main facts that define its growth is the arrival of 4,500 new inhabitants to the new city, the creation of 1,000 new occupancies, an area of 250,000m² for the implementation of new economic activities that will contribute to the creation of 17,000 new jobs and also 86,000m2 of tourist infrastructure.

Based on the live-work-play concept, the Innovation District will be a unique and abundant city designed to improve the quality of life of each of its inhabitants, for whom the various attractions will be within a short 15-minute distance.

We work in collaboration with Santa Casa da Misericórdia Almada to donate supplies and essentials to underprivileged families who reside in Almada. We acquire and collect resources that help lessen financial hardship and promote social well-being. Our common goal is to ensure economic, cultural, social, and environmental sustainability, with awareness of ethical practices in the social economy.

Futures of Education

Reimagining our Futures Together - A New social contract for education.

A global initiative to reimagine how knowledge and learning can shape the future of humanity and the planet, UNESCO’s Futures of Education initiative seeks to rethink education and shape the future.

Knowledge and learning are humanity's most significant renewable resources as a response to challenges and inventing alternatives. Nevertheless, education does more than react to a changing world. Education transforms the world.

This initiative seeks to mobilize the many ways of being and knowing to sway humanity's collective intelligence. It relies on a broad, open co-construction process involving youth, educators, civil society, governments, businesses, and other stakeholders.
