The Communal Action Workshop (TAC) ?Building a Better Life Together? strengthens community ties through the participation of local neighbors in the urban development of the area, as well as in the promotion of capacities of such people. The project, initiated in 1989, has progressed over time, creating spaces for dialogue and carrying out collective actions for effective transformation. At all times, it seeks to incorporate children as key players in the recreation of community practices. Among its various activities, the project has counted on the participation of more than 3000 volunteers, while more than 700 children attend the program weekly. Finally, it should be noted that the project has yielded an important amount of results, such as community gardens, meeting spaces and others.
