Abstract(s)
No presente relatório intitulado "Existir sem ser visto" será apresentado um projeto de intervenção
social, desenvolvido num Centro de Dia, cuja finalidade visa contrariar processos de isolamento e
desempoderamento, promovendo o fortalecimento de interações sociais, a participação e a valorização
pessoal. Neste projeto identificaram-se os seguintes problemas: sentimento de solidão; baixa
autoestima e pouca valorização pessoal; práticas profissionais desajustadas e condições de vida
inadequadas e não dignificantes. Com base nestes problemas, definiram-se quatro objetivos gerais:
minimizar o sentimento de solidão através do fortalecimento das relações sociais; promover
sentimentos de autoconfiança e de valorização pessoal; promover uma prática reflexiva dos
profissionais da instituição; e promover o bem-estar do Sr. Manuel através de um acompanhamento
psicossocial individualizado.
Para alcançar os objetivos definidos, foram desenvolvidas duas ações distintas: "(Re)Pensar,
(Re)Criar e Evocar" (Ação 1) e "Ao Encontro do Outro" (Ação 2). A Ação 1 "(Re)Pensar, (Re)Criar e
Evocar" focou-se no grupo de pessoas idosas e na equipa técnica, visando repensar as práticas
institucionais e desenvolver novas abordagens de intervenção, evocando memórias valorizando
vivências e o conhecimento dos participantes. Já a Ação 2 "Ao Encontro o Outro", resultou do
desenvolvimento de uma intervenção psicossocial desenvolvida com uma pessoa do Centro de Dia, o Sr.
Manuel e visou contraria o processo de exclusão e de isolamento em que se encontrava.
Este projeto seguiu a metodologia de investigação-ação participativa, envolvendo ativamente os
participantes no seu desenvolvimento, tornando-os protagonistas da sua própria transformação social
e pessoal.
ln the present report entitled "Existing Without Being Seen," a social intervention project developed in a Day Center is presented, aiming to counteract processes of isolation and disempowerment, fostering social interaction, participation, and personal empowerment. The initial assessment identified the following issues: feelings of loneliness, low self-esteem and limited self-worth, inadequate professional practices, and poor living conditions for Mr. Manuel. Based on these issues, four main objectives were defined: to reduce feelings of loneliness by strengthening social relationships; to promote self-confidence and personal empowerment; to encourage reflective practices among the institution's staff; and to enhance the well-being of Mr. Manuel, one of the participants, through individualized psychosocial support. To achieve these objectives, two distinct actions were developed: "(Re)Think, (Re)Create, and Evoke" (Action 1) and "Meeting the Other" (Action 2). Action 1, "(Re)Think, (Re)Create, and Evoke," focused on the group of elderly participants and the technical team, with the aim of rethinking institutional practices and developing new intervention approaches by evoking memories and valuing participants' life experiences and knowledge. Action 2 emerged from a psychosocial intervention with a Day Center participant, Mr. Manuel, aiming to address and mitigate his experience of social exclusion and isolation. This project followed a participatory action-research methodology, actively involving the participants in its development, making them key agents of their own social and personal transformation.
