As part of the four interdisciplinary axes of the Centre, the outreach activities developed at CEIS20, such as the prominent “CEIS20 Fora de Portas” project, aim to commit our R&D units to the promotion and democratisation of knowledge, greater proximity to the surrounding communities, quality education, gender equality and the reduction of asymmetries in the construction of a fairer, more inclusive and reflective society.
Specifically, “CEIS20 Fora de Portas” is part of the outreach activities of the Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies of the University of Coimbra (CEIS20-UC) and is aimed at schools and formal and non-formal educational contexts (senior citizens’ universities, civic, leisure and cultural associations, prisons, etc.). “CEIS20 Fora de Portas” aims to promote the dissemination of the knowledge produced at the Centre, including in the fields of humanities, social sciences and the arts, through the sharing of the work of its researchers in these formal and non-formal educational contexts. It also aims to stimulate critical debates on the major challenges facing contemporary societies.
