Social impact, community innovation and public art in action.

Projeto Trinsheira was born from the desire to transform social innovation into a concrete force for change and owes its name to the neighborhood basement where it originated, in the municipality of Espinho, and more specifically in the community of Bairro da Ponte de Anta. It began with a simple idea: to build bridges between people, communities, and territories to solve social, environmental, and cultural challenges. Meanwhile, through experimentation, collaboration, and an unwavering commitment to impact, we have accumulated more than 250 initiatives in 21 cities with partners from 17 European countries and the United States.

Over the past 24 years, Projeto Trinsheira has established itself as a living laboratory of co-creation and action, where young people, local organizations, and companies come together to design sustainable solutions for the future. From community activation to project incubation, including impact entrepreneurship, our journey has been marked by real stories of transformation, reaching more than 13,000 direct participants.

Today, we are a dynamic ecosystem where innovation happens at the intersection of people and real-world challenges. We remain focused on creating shared value and developing sustainable solutions for the national and international ecosystem, giving back to communities all the knowledge and experience we have acquired.
