Promotion of the practice of the Oprimido Theatre in six deprived neighbourhoods in Greater Lisbon: Cova da Moura, Zambujal, Adroana, Cruz Vermelha, Casal da Mira e Vale da Amoreira. The project aims to promote the independence and selfconfidence of beneficiaries and to give the Lisbon suburbs a new image which values its young human capital.
