This report presents the theoretical background, which is essential to guide the practice, the methodology, the results of the intervention carried out and the final considerations. Based on on-site visits, permeated by observation and interviews with the leader of the square and the cooperative members, an institutional diagnosis was made and, based on this, a demand survey was carried out.

This experience provided contact with the field of Organizational and Work Psychology, reflecting the possibilities for professional work in this area.
