General Information

A non-profit cultural association created in 1996 by a group of people with the same ambition: to give visibility to the richness of the Portuguese language spread throughout the world. Today, while maintaining the same ambition, we don't limit ourselves only to the Portuguese language, but also to the various influences that Portugal has suffered over the centuries, which in our time can be felt through migratory processes and the various communities living specifically in Lisbon. We're a small institution with a working group of six people, funded by the Lisbon City Council, the Ministry of Culture and, occasionally, by project, we have various funders and partners. We have several projects that take place every year, which we present in the annex, and we have other occasional activities such as co-organising the "We Insist!" seminar in partnership with the European Jazz Network. Or the creation of a series of documentaries addressing various themes such as creativity, innovation, diversity, crossroads arising from emigration and travelling the world in counterpoint with information societies and new technologies, for a private Tv channel.
