Comunidade365 was visited by the Movidoso Association, an organisation dedicated to promoting active and healthy ageing through physical activity, social inclusion and the promotion of the physical, mental and emotional wellbeing of older people.
Founded on 8 May 2024 by João Tigana Robalo and Joaquin Hernandez, the Movidoso Association was established with the mission of demonstrating that age is no barrier to taking part in sport, social engagement and improving quality of life. What began with just five participants has, in little more than two years, grown into a movement bringing together around 500 participants, spread across different areas of Praia and the island of Boa Vista.
The visit reinforces Comunidade365’s aim of bringing civil society organisations closer together and creating opportunities for learning, capacity-building and collaboration. More than just a meeting place, the initiative promotes good governance, supports institutional strengthening and guides organisations through their formalisation and development processes, helping to broaden their impact on communities.
