Target groups of our activities include individuals (the general public, students, volunteers, including the young, the elderly and the disabled) as well as entities (including private companies, non-profit organizations and public bodies), with whom we either promote joint works and projects and/or to whom we provide services/products related to the above referred sectoral areas of activity.

Among other activities, Desafio das Letras is regularly involved in the design, application and support to management of several LIFE Programme funded projects where volunteering, capacity building, training and similar works are essential activities. Many of these are planned, supervised and implemented with the support of our internal team and/or external collaborators. In addition, under the heading/brand experience.NATURE, Desafio das Letras has been promoting, in partnership with identical stakeholders, throughout Portugal, a set of pilot programmes and activities, directed at capacitating local agents to undertake identical works, which provide a combined mix of tourism and "voluntourism" like activities to engage the general public in biodiversity conservation.
