The importance of the partnership with the Pedago Group , the founding entity of the Instituto Superior de Ciências Educativas , the only Higher Education institution in the municipality, and whose training vocation focuses on the educational area (training of Educators for different levels of education, of Animators Cultural and Social Educators, among other areas).

Integrated in the geographical area of the Municipality of Odivelas, the Associação Sénior de Odivelas arises from the desire of its founding members to collaborate, with their know-how in Education, in the intellectual, social, physical and cultural dynamism of the Municipality's senior population, supporting a continued intervention to increase the quality of life of this population.
