The Portuguese Network of the Anna Lindh Foundation, coordinated by Aequalitas as Head of Network, organised its National Network Gathering in Montemor-o-Novo, hosted by local member organisation Marca ADL.

The gathering took place on 16-17–18 June 2026 at the Biblioteca Municipal Almeida Faria, bringing together grassroots organisations from different parts of Portugal for three days of exchange, learning and cooperation. The programme included presentations from member organisations, sharing of local initiatives, artistic and cultural moments, discussions on ALF opportunities, and spaces for networking and collaboration.

The activity was organised in the framework of the Network Engagement Scheme, with the objective of strengthening connections between Portuguese members, increasing visibility of grassroots initiatives, and creating opportunities for future cooperation within the Euro-Mediterranean region.
