Planeta Alecrim Associação
PLANETA ALECRIM ASSOCIACAO
Beirã, Portugal
Description
Planeta Alecrim is a small non-profit Learning Community for Education and Social Innovation. The main activity of this association arose from the need of a group of parents to create a supportive community for the education of their children in this rural region and it has been active since September 2017. It is a space for learning and personal development, especially in basic education, in areas such as reading, writing, mathematics, history, science, sports and arts.

Training during the activity
At the same time, we want to develop more open activities for the community in general, through social and cultural actions. Extending the educational practice beyond the school is a goal and we aim to create a Learning Community. That is, to work with education as a collective act, actively involving the community in the consolidation of a fairer, more participatory society capable of motivating a profound cultural transformation.
