Esta dissertação tem como objetivo compreender como projetos de empreendedorismo
social podem contribuir significativamente para a inclusão de pessoas portadoras de
deficiência, procurando perceber como surgem e se mantêm estas iniciativas de
empreendedorismo social, qual é o seu impacto na inclusão das pessoas com deficiência
em particular no que diz respeito ao seu empoderamento, valorização e melhoria da
autoestima. Para isso, após um enquadramento teórico onde se abordam temas como a
conceptualização e os modelos de empreendedorismo social; a criação de valor; a
sustentabilidade; a inovação e a história da evolução da perceção da deficiência até à
atualidade, procede-se à analise de dois casos de empreendedorismo social centrados na
inserção socioprofissional de pessoas com deficiência mental: o projeto “ValorIN”
promovido pela associação Movimento de Apoio ao Diminuído Intelectual (MADI) e o
projeto "Contigo Há Descoberta!", promovido pela Associação Socio Terapêutica de
Almeida (ASTA). No estudo de casos aplicou-se uma metodologia qualitativa, incluindo
a análise documental e realizaram-se entrevistas semiestruturadas aos
coordenares/promotores e a beneficiários do projeto. Analisados os dados, deu-se conta
da importância do caráter inovador das iniciativas, das características empreendedoras
dos seus responsáveis, assim como do papel essencial das parcerias para o
desenvolvimento e sustentabilidade de ambos os projetos. Conclui-se também que que o
impacto nos beneficiários se reflete não só na sua inserção socioprofissional e
empoderamento, mas também a nível uma melhoria da autoestima e de saúde.
