Participation in ongoing funded research projects:

“Diários de Um Interior” funded by Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian (2019-2021) – PARTIS: Práticas Artísticas para a Inclusão Social, 3rd edition.

"Diários de um Interior" is a participatory art project that has two fundamental, interrelated and mutually complementary dimensions - artistic and educational - that contribute equally to the pursuit of the same goal: social inclusion of individuals and communities that live in the interior regions of Portugal and are at risk of losing their identity, history and culture. This project includes the development of artistic, cultural and educational skills, the empowerment of individuals (students, parents, teachers), and is designed to promote social cohesion, parental involvement in children’s schooling and develop alternative teaching practices.
