HOPE&GO: concerto solidário leva esperança a crianças em risco da Cáritas Coimbra   No dia 19 de janeiro, às 17h00, o Convento de São Francisco, em Coimbra, será palco de um evento especial: o concerto HOPE&GO, uma iniciativa solidária do Coro COD Coimbra, que irá beneficiar a Cáritas de Coimbra. Os fundos angariados neste concerto serão destinados à renovação do Centro de Acolhimento Temporário de Crianças (CAT), em Cernache. Este centro acolhe, temporariamente, crianças dos 0 aos 6 anos em situações de risco, proporcionando-lhes um lar seguro e afeto enquanto se define o melhor encaminhamento para cada uma. Com o apoio do público e da comunidade, será possível criar um espaço ainda mais acolhedor e funcional, onde estas crianças possam sentir-se verdadeiramente em casa durante este período delicado das suas vidas. O concerto será protagonizado pelo Coro COD Coimbra, composto por 60 elementos acompanhados por 8 músicos profissionais que, de forma totalmente voluntária, une talentos para transmitir mensagens de esperança e solidariedade. O bilhete tem o custo de 10 euros e está disponível em BOL.PT e nas bilheteiras do Convento de São Francisco.

Bruna Franceschini, project manager and researcher of the Innovation Department, travelled to Norway, to 📍Trondheim, to visit Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), the coordinating entity of the project, and to 📍Tromso, to the Norwegian Centre for E-health Research at Universitetssykehuset Nord-Norge. These activities included various cultural events, training sessions, and exchanges between the entities, always focusing on the use of social robots with an ethical and legal perspective on issues related to active and healthy ageing. ⏩ In the following months, Cáritas Coimbra also hosted members from these organisations and organised the "Workshop on Social Robots in Home and Institutional Care". The #LIFEBOTS project aims to strengthen cross-sectoral, international, and interdisciplinary collaboration in the field of social robotics technology. In essence, it explores how social robots can be integrated into people’s lives. The #LIFEBOTSexchange is a project funded by the Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE), part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA). __________ 📢📢𝗖𝗮́𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗶𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮 𝗲𝗺 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗮̂𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗼 𝗱𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗼𝗯𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗼̂𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗶𝘀 🌍🤖 Entre agosto e outubro de 2024, a Cáritas de Coimbra fez parte de mais duas atividades de secondment no âmbito do projeto LIFEBOTS Exchange.
