The Ponte de Sor Senior University (USePS), created by Caminhar - Associação Cristã de Apoio Social, in partnership with the municipality and local organisations, promotes active, healthy and socially integrated ageing for people over 50. It offers courses, ateliers, workshops, cultural activities and volunteering, covering areas such as the arts, IT, languages, health, physical activity, dance, music and citizenship. It values social inclusion, combating isolation, lifelong education, health promotion and intergenerationality, strengthening community ties and reducing inequalities by including vulnerable seniors. Its principle is to promote partnerships through co-operation between organisations and volunteers. Its actions are a good practice that can be replicated, centred on dignity, active participation and valuing older people. The municipality joins in by making human resources and cultural and sports equipment available to promote different activities.
