As the title says, interested in discussing worker cooperatives in Portugal.

Here's information from CASES about cooperatives in PT

I'd prefer something more practical.

In my own mind, I'd like to have a cooperative that combines mutual aid, agriculture, environmental work, crafts, social services ... I guess what I really would like to create is a tiny, better functioning society within the crumbling, unsatisfying existing one, and kind of believe a cooperative might be the way to go about defining this in terms of a public front.

As a foreigner in PT I suspect similar structures exist or have existed, but if anyone knows more I'd be happy to learn.
