Educação Comunitária intergeracional: um ecossistema solidário de desenvolvimento humano e de envelhecimento ativo

Intergenerational community education fosters human development and active aging through non-formal, grassroots initiatives. Since 1998, the Escola Comunitária de São Miguel de Machede (SUÃO-Associação) has pioneered this approach in a small Alentejo community, while the Universidade Popular Túlio Espanca (UPTE/UÉ), established in 2009, expanded it regionally through a network of nine poles. Over a thousand participants engage in collaborative projects involving local governments and civil society organizations, emphasizing institutional cooperation and resource-sharing. This solidarity-based ecosystem demonstrates that intergenerational learning can strengthen social cohesion while promoting lifelong development.
