We have a budget of around 200 000€ a year, but we depend mostly on governmental programs.
For the last 10 years, we focused mostly our work on community work, but we are also actively engaged on researching and presenting tradicional music in a more contemporary way through out our artistic projects and we have a pedagogical project that teaches tradicional music.
Our partners are the Portuguese Ministry of Culture, municipalities and private organizations.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We believe that our experience on working with communities through tradicional music, helping them connecting with there routs and with them selfs, can benefit this Network very much.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We believe that we are stronger when we are together. We live in an individual world where people live more and more apart, separated from there communities. This way of life promotes ignorance tours the other, promotes fear, promotes violence and discrimination. only though a divers and strong communities and network e can fight fear and ignorance and build a more inclusive society.
