| Short description | The programme promotes the autonomy and social support, health, education and training, fight against exclusion, and guarantees excellence in service provision. It is based on the needs, expectations and own contribution of each client with regard to the development activities provided by the AFID Difference Foundation. |
| Co-productive activities | Step 1 to 4 Since 2010 to the present day, the project of the Occupational Activity Center - CAO, has aimed at promoting labour and social inclusion of people with a disability, based on the principle that everyone has (unexploited) potential for employment. This is a four-step road: Customer-Family-Foundation-Partners. Marcha da Alegria- Join March (traditional performance) The initial idea was to make a short march to the Occupational Activity Center -CAO level. But one of the Occupational Activity Center - CAO clients took the idea immediately to our Social services Director who took it upon himself to involve as much people as possible to work on this project. Nights out Night outs are organised by the staff annually in a fun location in the vibrant city of Lisbon. Trips Trips are organised in European cities such as Madrid or Porto, together with the Global Training Activity, New Technologies and Inclusion group.
Co-production activities are undoubtedly the mainstay of intervention and development of the Activities Plan for the Occupational Activities Centre, but it is something transversal to all the services that the Foundation provides to its customers. According to the answers of the Satisfaction Questionnaire and the ideas proposed in each development period of the Individual Plan, the service of AFID Difference Foundation tries to adjust the activities.
