The project aims to unlock the transformative potential for urban regeneration of the temporary use of cultural heritage places, as well as to involve the local population in their creative dynamics and emblematic sites representing trafaria's history in a direct relationship with the community. Thus, knowing the Fado tradition in the village, the T-Factor project offers the inhabitants an unprecedented show that integrates fado singers of Trafaria in 3 key-places of meeting points of the population: The "Verbena" (Trafaria's Musical Society); the "Cortiço"; and the "Club" (Trafaria's football club).
