The focus on the theme “empowerment” began a project whose proposal is to work with the techniques of “Caring for the Caregiver,” with a group director of an institution in a community in a situation of social vulnerability. The group offers food and education, professional and religious, through activities socio-educational and cultural, aiming to raise awareness of social rights, autonomy and empowerment of people. There is an appreciation of the care practice with the possibility of emancipation.
