With a degree in Economics from the University of Coimbra\u2019s Faculty of Economics, she has had a varied professional career, closely linked to Social Economy. A micro-entrepreneur, mother of six and of Angolan descent, she is also part Lisbonite and loves Coimbra. She restores furniture and smiles, and is a firm believer in the notion that change in the world lies in the hands of a small group of thoughtful and committed citizens, just as anthropologist Margaret Mead so eloquently stated.<\/p>\n

Born and raised in Penacova, near the Mondego River, he holds a degree in Business Organisation and Management from the University of Coimbra’s Faculty of Economics. His time at university was an important period in his life, not only academically, where he found his calling for financial management and information systems, but also socially, where he made friends for life. He has always been involved with EU Funds, whether working with promoting bodies or with financing institutions. He joined Portugal Inova\u00e7\u00e3o Social in 2015, on a project that he believes is \u201cdisruptive and motivating\u201d, with a team he identifies with immensely. He loves technology, nature, cinema, Sporting football club and hanging out with friends or family. He was put to the test as a teenager, which shaped who he is and his outlook on life: steadfast optimist and firm believer that we should live in the now, one day at a time. He believes smiling is contagious and loves what he does, but his family comes first.<\/p>\n

Born and raised in Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes, in the north of Portugal, she wanted to be a journalist or a psychologist so that she could work in war or disaster zones because she was fascinated by the images she saw on TV at home. She holds a degree in Human Resources Management and Gerontology and looks after those in need. She is a choir conductor, missionary, devoted advocate for justice and love, and easy going. Fate brought her to Portugal Inova\u00e7\u00e3o Social, where today she can be part journalist, part psychologist and part manager, but in other wars: discovering, encouraging and monitoring projects with the power to change communities and the world.<\/p>\n

A father, born in the Alentejo region and Benfica fan, he likes Sociology because it simplifies understanding. For twenty years, he designed and managed projects, created, helped create and managed companies, ran NGOs and sat on the Board of other organisations involved in development. He consultants, has published several books and believes in social innovation and in sustainable development. He takes photographs because he doesn\u2019t know how to paint. He takes photographs because he doesn\u2019t know how to write poetry. He takes photographs because he believes that nature is the best poetry on canvas. He likes red, white and sparkling wine, which he prefers to have in good company rather than with food. Along the way he thought that he wanted to change the world, until he realised that it was he who had to change. The world knows best. Make no mistake about it.<\/p>\n

Born in Mangualde and a mother, she holds a degree in Economics from Nova University, Lisbon. She has a natural talent to crunch numbers and hear words, take on red tape, regulations, plans, mistakes and people with the patience of someone who knows that everything is easier than it seems. She prefers to appreciate than to spend. After 15 years of planning, managing and controlling the budget for Infraestruturas de Portugal, she decided to ride the Portugal Inova\u00e7\u00e3o Social train to help change the world.<\/p>\n

He has worked with three consulting companies, collaborated in the drafting of several sustainability reports for multinationals and has prepared dozens of business plans for startups. He believes that economic models should serve society, and not the other way around. A principled karate kid, music and singing are his passion. Driven by the task of helping to implement the Social Innovation Fund, he does so to the sound of Wilco.<\/p>\n

Woman, mother and figueirense through and through, she is heavily influenced by Figueira da Foz, a city open to the world which led her to pursue International Relations. Part of international networks and projects for the past two decades, she has had the opportunity to travel and meet people from different cultures and with different traditions. She loves technology, innovation, strategy and communication, and believes that \u201cpurpose\u201d is the currency for change. Steadfast optimist, she encourages and feeds off the belief that the world can be changed. And believes that it changes every day.<\/p>\n

Born in Coimbra, where you can get lost and be found, she has wanted to be involved in public service since she was a little girl and, perhaps, this is what led her to take a degree in Public Administration. She likes the simple things in life, and freedom, and strolls through history and the streets that made it. She collects succulent plants and plants herbs. Torn between Acad\u00e9mica de Coimbra and Sporting football clubs, she cooks and sprinkles the other parts of her life with the certainty that there will always be light on the other side of darkness. She joined Portugal Inova\u00e7\u00e3o Social because \u201cdreams are what push us forward\u201d.<\/p>\n

A proud native of Porto, she loves listening to and feeling music, cooking just for a few or for many, skating on solid ground or in impossible dreams, chatting for the sake of it, meeting new people, experiencing new cultures and continuously learning. Growing with her kids is her passion and blue and white, the colours of Porto football club, course through her veins.<\/p>\n
