Escola Oficina was created with the aim of creating bridges to employment by training unemployed people and developing new professional tasks aimed at environmental sustainability, the circular economy and the economic profitability of families. Conscious citizenship practices, the sustainability of economic development, qualified social integration and the opportunity to join the labour market make up the range of objectives inherent in the project. The project is divided into two main areas: training and the workshop. The first enables the acquisition of knowledge, (re)qualification and professional certification in the area of sewing and cardmaking. The second offers participants the chance to put into practice the knowledge they have acquired in the training programme and start projects in a real work context, transforming rubbish and waste into final products with added value.
