About THINK

THINK - Towards Handicap Integration Negotiating Knowledge - is a project that will professionally integrate 300 disabled people, as teleworkers, in five European countries, up to July 2002. Professional integration implies transfer of skills in different areas so that they become productive, lucrative and self-sufficient using information and communication technologies for telework. The THINK project is already a technological, organisational and social model, recognised in Europe as an innovative solution for disabled people .

The success achieved by the previous PORCIDE project (1997-2000), now called PORCIDE I, with the integration of 20 disabled people from all over the country into services such as Help Desk, Programming, Webdesign, Creation of Templates and Audio Transcription, has not only given rise to its re-launching in Portugal, now designated PORCIDE II/THINK, but also to the export of this innovative socio-economic model to another eight countries. There are 60 vacancies in Portugal, 60 in Spain, 60 in Italy, 40 in Greece, 20 in Scotland, 20 in Latvia, 20 in
Lithuania and 20 in Estonia . In the medium term, the project will be extended to Brazil, the USA and New Zealand.

As in the case of PORCIDE I, THINK is led by TELEMANutenção. PORCIDE II/THINK - the Portuguese "arm" of THINK - is set up in a consortium with PT Comunicações, MICROSOFT, TELEPAC, HP, EDSON/FCB, DIÁRIO DE NOTÍCIAS, PRICEWATERHOUSE COOPERS, RUMOS, Desktop Streaming, 3C, Alcatel and ServerArts.
