The ‘Riso à Porta’ project combats the social isolation of older people in Alto Alentejo, aggravated by geographical dispersion, lack of access to cultural activities and family distancing due to emigration. IIES uses social clownery and arts to socially integrate and stimulate this population. The actions take place in the homes of the elderly, previously identified in partnership with the municipal services, Social Security and GNR, via Senior Census.
