Projects:
27th Aug - DLBC Lisboa – Associação para o Desenvolvimento Local de Base Comunitária de Lisboa
Direct translation would be Association of Local and Community Development of Lisbon, which is a funded project by the Portuguese government and Lisboa 2020. The project started in June and they have a 18th month project financed to create a Local Coin in the city of Lisbon.
They want to implement the local coin for social use and community-based projects that don’t have the ability to receive funding in Euros. Creating a circular economic and decentralize from the usual implementations of funding proposals, creating more open possibilities for associations that deal with social work and empower them.
Next steps: Meetings are being scheduled to brief their team, give presentations in Portuguese and explain more about blockchain technology and NEAR Protocol.
31st Aug – Gruta – Plataform / Label / Production
Gruta is an Almada/Lisbon project created in 2016 with the idea to create a plataform for more emergent Music Artists. Now with more than 90 Podcasts recorded in video and shared thought Youtube and social media, with around 57 000 views, it has created a big community and attracted totally different crowds and scenes. Creating and co-organizating with different collectives dozens of events throught the years, has also collaborated with Portugal City Halls and sponsorships to create and show their perspective with Cultural events.
Last year it expanded their work to exist as Record Label also. Now with 17 releases available online, they range from EP’s, Albums and Singles. It has grown with the contacts from artists, musicians and venue organizations.
Production was always one big aspect of the project, with renting logistics audio, video, services, technicians, consulting, communication, digital marketing and executive production

1st Sept – Mãe Solteira – Record Label, Booking Agency, Events Producer, Activism
Mãe Solteira does a very important job with the Feminist and Queer community, helping spread their skills and showing the need for their participation in world decision making questions.
It started last year, with a very firm schedule as releases, bookings, events and activism leads. It works in activism, creation of tools of information and investigation for the general population to participate. Giving back the differences and needs that need to be address. As Booking Agency it tries to create a plataform of engaging their artists with venues and other collectives. Producing big events with a very political and decentralization of power stance, disrupting the usual chain of command and prejudice we can still see on a daily basis.
They also have another branch of the collective called Post Carbon Collective that uses 3D simulations and virtual reality in a transhumanism topic and theme.

“Rádio Ophelia is an on-line community, pirate, radio, streaming live from Almada with its transmission fully dedicated to the independent music scene.
We first started transmitting in January 2018, and our work since has been creating a network between independent artists and/or labels, or communities, and to be a meeting point and a platform of communion and promotion of those same artists or collectives.
So far, we are cooperating with over 50 artists, labels or collectives, from all across Portugal, and we count around 500 shows produced and transmitted live, all of them available on Mixcloud.”

2nd Sept – HOC - Hub de Oficinas Comunitárias – Advance of technology and tools in ONG’s and Social Communities
The project is born with the idea of developing technology to forward the decentralization and give the tools of optimization to social care institutions and ONG’s. The connections with a few institutions are already established and the work already deployed in the creation of dashboards and general tools for their specific project. Social innovation is a must as a tool of activism, so giving the communities ways of interpretation of their own rights, assets and value to empower them. Main goals are to achieve structure and finance to give options and opportunity’s that can scale to needs of each type of organization. The gap is huge and statistically there’s more than proof of a need to innovate in the social sector.
This project was developed in works with different institutions and not as a specific institution but the forward idea is to create as soon as possible identity for this idea. It was promised to be delivered in the following weeks.
Hack ideas already developed to be deployed:
- Creation of a Social Token for the implementation, management and services related to the voluntary work to give incentive to the own project.
- Use of already created tools that can be decentralized, community-based and transparent
- Funding from internal and external partnerships for social innovation
- Use of Bounties to implement task management and widening the network using NEAR and use of Blockchain Technology
- Digital and financial capacitation to identities of Social Economy status and their public targets
- Cultural, Communitarian and Institutional mediation using Web3.0 and blockchain technology
- Services of reporting and analytics using Web 3.0 and blockchain technology
- Official certified formation in economics and blockchain technology.
Next steps: Maintaining contact and introduce the full team to the NEAR Ecosystem in the next meetings. Presentation on the Forum and the creation of the DAO.

In a responsability definition, I asked this collectives to deliver in the following week more information about the projects they have, which I will help in the construction using the current technology we have and I know off.
I also gave instructions for the creation of their own DAO’s and present their work of this forum, I will help them in this subject wherever I can 
@chloe @mecsbecs Please guide anyway we can improve the communication to this collectives with innovative ways and integrations to our NEAR Ecosystem.
