Through this initiative, the municipality aims to continue highlighting the work of a project that serves as a “benchmark for social inclusion in Ponta Delgada, supporting individuals in situations of social vulnerability and fostering personal, social, and professional skill development through occupational, educational, and community integration activities.”
The space is open to visitors Monday through Friday, from 12:30 PM to 4:30 PM local time (one hour ahead of Lisbon time), offering the community “the opportunity to see firsthand the work created by participants of the Casa Manaias occupational activity centre, as well as to take part in various creative and educational activities,” according to the municipality.
