This project Escola de Anciãos not only stood out for providing new opportunities for the inclusion and valorisation of people in situations of social exclusion, but also served as a model for the creation of new projects that combine social innovation with the principles of the circular economy, generating environmental, social and economic benefits.
The "Escola de Anciãos" project created the opportunity to honour ancestral knowledge and demonstrate how the circular economy can be adopted in the development of new products. The circular economy is vital for advancing sustainability, minimising waste and optimising the reuse of resources, thus contributing to environmental conservation and long-term economic efficiency.
We have identified sustainable projects and made them accessible in e-books, which not only showcase the art and ancestral wisdom of the Alentejo region when it comes to sustainability, but also inspire us with innovative success stories based on the same principles.
