Slowly, those activities started to grow:
more and more international projects were
developed, including European trainings
and international study visits. In addition,
Team MAIS had started to build a market
around its services in Animation and
Event Management. Eventually a team
of professional and semi-professional
animators was created, trained and hired
to bigger and more complex events.
On the projects front, the group brought
the international experience to the local
level and started to design and develop
community development projects in
several neighbourhoods, schools and
organisations, based in active
methodologies and non-formal learning.
In 2007, Team MAIS was formalised as a
company specialised in events, training
and consultancy for the third sector but
also for private and public sector.
Nowadays, we see ourselves and process
facilitators and product innovators.
The company is focused in supporting
professionals and organisations reach their
full potential, by providing consultancy
and training mostly, but not only, about
innovative learning approaches and creative
processes.
We do this in Portugal but also in other
European countries. This means our team
can be helping a private company in Lisbon
to innovate more on one day, supporting
teachers from rural areas to be more
effective in their class the next day and
sitting with young people, in Sweden,
discussing the refugee crisis before
the week is over.
