Fundação INATEL Seeking Partnership – Promoting Green Living Areas

Fundação INATEL is a Portuguese public-interest foundation established in 1935, with 90 years of experience in social tourism, culture, sports, leisure, social inclusion and territorial development.

Operating across mainland Portugal and the islands, Fundação INATEL has a strong nationwide presence through 26 local branches, 15 hotel units, sports facilities, Teatro da Trindade INATEL, a Training Academy and a Qualifica Centre. Its network reaches approximately 250,000 individual members and 3,500 collective members (Centres for Culture and Sports – CCDs), providing the Foundation with a strong capacity to reach citizens and engage communities and local stakeholders across different territories.

Fundação INATEL has extensive experience in implementing publicly funded programmes and initiatives in areas such as sustainable and social tourism, sports and physical activity, culture, training and capacity building, active and healthy ageing, digital inclusion, intergenerational and intercultural dialogue and social inclusion.

What can Fundação INATEL bring to a consortium?

Fundação INATEL can contribute as a territorial implementation, community engagement and pilot partner, particularly through:

Implementation and testing of pilot activities in different Portuguese territories;
Engagement of citizens, communities and local stakeholders in the design, testing and uptake of sustainable solutions;
Promotion of active and healthy lifestyles, physical activity, leisure and active ageing;
Development of initiatives connecting green transition, social inclusion and community participation;
Promotion of intergenerational and intercultural participation;
Valorisation of local, environmental and cultural resources as assets for more sustainable and attractive territories;
Training, capacity-building and awareness-raising activities supporting sustainable behaviours and lifestyles;
Cooperation with municipalities, local associations, cultural and sports organisations and other territorial stakeholders;
Organisation of participatory and community-based activities;
Dissemination, transfer and replication of project results through its extensive nationwide network.

Fundação INATEL is particularly interested in joining projects aimed at creating greener, healthier, more inclusive and resilient living areas, where environmental sustainability is combined with quality of life, active lifestyles, social inclusion, community participation and territorial cohesion.

The Foundation would be particularly interested in projects where its territorial network, infrastructures and direct connection with communities can provide real-life environments for testing, demonstrating and disseminating innovative approaches.

Fundação INATEL would be pleased to explore potential synergies and discuss its contribution as a Partner within a transnational consortium.
