CLARA - Center for Rural Future

CLARA center is a catalyst for regenerative rural development. An aggregating space that promotes collaboration, reflection based on knowledge, innovation and interdisciplinary production. A community-based development model, in a stimulating environment, with a comprehensive discourse on local issues, inclusive and ethical, where you learn by doing and lead by example, for a more balanced and vital ecosystem. 
We are transforming an abandoned brick factory, which was once an economic and social anchor for the interior region of Odemira-Portugal, into a vibrant Center for Rural Future. Instead of bricks, we now produce social innovation for regenerative local development.
