The Power of a Hug – Shelter Home
Integrated Support Centre for Children "A Gaivota"
At the Shelter Home, playful activities play a fundamental role in the emotional and social development of children and young people.
Through moments of play, interaction, and sharing, we promote the expression of feelings, the strengthening of bonds, creativity, and well-being.

The hug activity was a moment of closeness and affection, where small gestures helped reinforce values such as empathy, respect, and the importance of caring for others.
Because playing is also learning, growing, and creating happy memories.
