Empowering intercultural communities through impact entrepreneurship & art.
Our Journey:
Promoting Inclusion from Portugal’s Most Intercultural Neighborhood.
MourariUP is a Cultural & Social Solidarity Cooperative based in Mouraria, Portugal's most diverse neighborhood, empowering migrant communities through entrepreneurship and art. Launched in 2022 as a pilot project within Renovar a Mouraria, with funding from BPI Bank and Fundação La Caixa, we’ve supported over 40 migrant entrepreneurs and promoted cultural initiatives to foster inclusion and community engagement. Now an independent non-profit, we offer three key services: a Migrant Entrepreneurship Hub called ME-hub, a platform to democratize art within intercultural communities called MourariART and Partnerships in Culture, Social Innovation, and Diversity for our sponsors.

“MourariUP helped me embrace who I am and to build who I want to be. It opened many doors so I can do what I love the most: nuture hearts through my food. The program helped me to believe in myself and that I am not alone”.
— Vanesa Toro, migrant entrepreneur.
