Description
We are a non-governmental organization that develops work in prisons using literature and artistic experimentation as tools for social inclusion.
Cultiv – Association of Ideas is a non-profit organization, responsible for the project Poetry has no bars, which, since 2003, operates in Prison Establishments in Portugal, using literature and artistic experimentation as tools for social inclusion. Throughout its existence, Poetry has no bars has sought to be a complement to the daily work of technicians and education professionals, using art in the process of resocialization of the individual. We are also involved in raising awareness about justice and social inclusion and projects of community intervention, through art and literature.
