The "ConViver" project began in October 2018 with the aim of minimising the issue of social isolation, which is largely experienced by people over the age of 60 and with some travel restrictions. The group of volunteers from the Education and Social Action Department created the "ConViver" project with the aim of promoting moments of conviviality, entertainment and exchanging life experiences, establishing a local support link and minimising the feeling of loneliness. The "ConViver" project, which also has the support of the Milheirós de Poiares Parish Council, began with Sunday visits by volunteers to the homes of residents who agreed to take part in the initiative and demonstrated the need to improve their social interaction. In 2021, the initiative gained another way to impact this population with the creation of specific gatherings, sharing experiences, music, concerts, stories and histories, thus increasing the sense of belonging among those involved, promoting self-esteem, sharing and new forms of interaction. The project currently embraces not only senior citizens, but also other adult residents who need to strengthen their ties with the community, socialise and reduce feelings of loneliness.
