A Avo veio trabalhar

"*A Avó vem trabalhar* is a learning, sharing and empowerment project, led by FERMENTA, which through the use of traditional handcrafts and design increases the power of the senior intervention in our society. Within an increasingly dynamic neighbourhood where new spaces are opening - bars, cafés and galleries that blend with the calm and slow pace of the oldest inhabitants - the project is presented as an opportunity to fill this gap between the two realities, offering each generation a place where they can meet, discuss and learn from each other. The space presents itself as a "creative laboratory" that people can attend, and where they can use the materials, machines, learn from the more experienced grandparents and feel the space as an extension of their own homes. The team of *A Avó vem trabalhar*, is composed by Susana António, Ângelo Campota, 65 grandparents and some volunteers and interns. It proposes a series of workshops and events where several generations are invited to meet. All of the craft creations are on sale in the store and the collections change every three months. The space is open Monday to Friday, between 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 6 p.m." - Rés-do-Chão
