We propose a comprehensive project that integrates tradition, emotion, and technology to foster a vibrant and connected community in Porto, Portugal. Through a multifaceted approach involving events, applications, protocols, and a web3-focused community, we aim to address burnout, nurture creativity, and unite local individuals with the principles of ReFi

In a world enamoured by technological advancement, it is crucial not to overlook the fragility of the human experience. Our project seeks to strike a harmonious balance between technological innovation and human connection. By nurturing inclusivity, collaboration, and cultural heritage, we aspire to build an empowered and united community.

The unchecked pace of technological evolution often neglects the intricate facets of human existence. The lack of space for empathy and understanding in technological advancements can lead to detachment, burnout, and societal estrangement. Within the heart of Porto, a city rich in history and resilience, the challenges of gentrification, economic disparity, and cultural erosion threaten to erode the city's unique identity. Our project endeavours to tackle these issues head-on by uniting and harvesting the individuals and causes that are already busy with these problems

Our project revolves around an indirect strategy that encompasses somatic practices, immersive events, networking initiatives, and collaborative endeavours, all rooted in the principles of community, locality and social impact technology. By doing so, we aim to forge a community of locals and web3 enthusiasts, that employ ( or learn to employ) technology as a conduit for enriching human lives and resolving pressing societal dilemmas.

Our Goals: Enhance Well-being: Introduce comprehensive somatic and therapeutic movement programs to combat burnout, stress, and mental fatigue, fostering a robust sense of physical and emotional well-being among community members.

Catalyze Collaboration: Orchestrating an array of events, workshops, and hackathons that amalgamate local talents, artisans, grassroots leaders, and pioneering web3 enterprises, thereby facilitating meaningful interactions, ideation, and groundbreaking problem-solving.

Empower Microcosmic Communities: By offering infrastructure, resources, and networking platforms, we intend to galvanize artists, artisans, and community managers, enabling them to thrive, contribute, and catalyze local advancement.

Counter Gentrification: In a proactive response to gentrification, our efforts will centre on nurturing local culture, amplifying distinctive talents, and creating tools that help communities to fight against evictions

Comprising a dynamic cohort with diverse backgrounds spanning art, community management, production, and technological innovation, our team is also all Porto Native. Our track record encompasses grassroots initiatives and state-funded projects, all underpinning our unyielding commitment to empowering Porto's thriving community.

Efficient resource allocation is pivotal to actualize our visionary objectives. The budget breakdown will encompass: Venue procurement and equipment provisioning for events, workshops, and movement classes Engagement of distinguished guest speakers, trainers, and mentors for hackathons and networking sessions Web3 development and aesthetic refinement of apps and protocols Strategic marketing and outreach initiatives to seamlessly integrate the community Administrative and operational overhead The establishment of an avant-garde co-working space tailored to accommodate nomadic entities
