+CO3SO Social Entrepreneurship

From March 2021 to October 2023, we developed the Abrantes + TIL ( Tradition, Inclusion and Connection) project, under the +COSO Social Entrepreneurship program.

The +CO3SO Social Entrepreneurship project, enabled the creation of a new response that promoted the social inclusion of two vulnerable groups, elderly people and people with disabilities, as well as enhancing and strengthening community bonds, networking and territorial identity. This response was based on intergenerationality, culture, territorial identity and leisure.

Objective of Abrantes + TIL

To promote the social inclusion of vulnerable groups in the municipality of Abrantes, namely elderly people and people with disabilities, as well as enhancing and strengthening community bonds, networking and territorial identity, by valuing and disseminating traditional knowledge.
