The territory of Campo Grande is a district of the municipality of Campinas/SP, where you find diversity, creativity and the strength of community participation. It is made up of residents who are building their own path every day, bringing improvements to their neighbourhoods, strengthening bonds and creating opportunities to change the reality they live in for the better. It is precisely this collective strength that makes the Hub Quebrada em Movimento the connector through which the community becomes the protagonist of social innovation solutions.

This territory has an identity of its own thanks to the leading role the community plays in local organising to solve problems together. You will find cultural and sporting initiatives and educational activities that broaden horizons — entrepreneurs who drive the local economy, collectives, organisations and leaders who strengthen the community.
All these initiatives are concrete proof that transformation happens when residents take on the role of protagonists. They generate strength and social impact out of an understanding of the needs, the riches and the talents that can be developed towards greater access to shared social innovation.
The strength of a territory is found in its challenges, and reducing Campo Grande to its obstacles alone means ignoring what truly moves the community: its capacity to create solutions. It is precisely in problems that residents come together to face difficulties through collaboration, creativity and collective construction, bringing greater access for all.
The Hub’s work therefore has as its guiding principle the strengthening of those who are in the territory and the development of projects for the community alongside the community itself, so that decisions are made collectively, making solutions more sustainable and more attuned to local reality while deepening people’s connection to the projects.
The community’s leading role strengthens citizenship, widening social participation and generating social impact across the whole territory.
The role of the Hub Quebrada em Movimento
The Hub Quebrada em Movimento is located on the mezzanine of Casa Maria de Nazaré unit 1, in Jardim Liliza, in the Campo Grande region of Campinas/SP. It works as a space for local social innovation organising, with mentoring, advisory support for leaders and community strengthening.
It hosts gatherings, training courses and calls for proposals supported by Fundação FEAC that encourage local participation and strengthen the social innovation ecosystem present in the territory. Every activity seeks to widen connections, bring in more leaders and encourage more people to take an active part in building the region’s future.
The Hub Quebrada em Movimento walks alongside this community, strengthening initiatives, connecting people and creating opportunities so that more and more residents can exercise their agency. Because we believe that the development of the territory happens through investment in people, keeping a physical space for organising and solving problems, turning ideas into real projects.
