Synopsis

And with Fall comes the return of the Integral Meetings! With some self-proposed activities by the community, we are preparing a program on Traditions for September 30, the most voted topic at the first meeting.

Manuela Caneco will give a workshop on “Drying figs”, Helena Menezes will facilitate a talk on “Relational intelligence: what challenges in the parent-child relationship?”, there will be a screening of the documentary “Wicker basketry and plastic ribbons” (22′) by Vera Abreu and, to end the day, a workshop/ballet of “Traditional dances” with Luís Tavares and guests (all activities by donation).

Cláudia Inácio’s Brinquedoteca will be with us at the meetings, so that everyone can enjoy these moments created for us. There will also be drinks for sale at the bar and a table full of shared food, so bring something to snack on!

In the following months, we will have meetings dedicated to Education (October 21), Local food and well-being (November 12) and Local challenges (December 1). Stay tuned!

Talk to us, the meetings belong to all of us! The community is the basis of Encontros Integris, share your ideas for activities and get involved in the organization on the day of the meetings by contacting encontros.integrais@gmail.com and check out the news at https://www.facebook.com/encontrosintegrais.

Sara Cerejeira

Born in Lisbon, she studied audiovisuals at the António Arroio Artistic School, and her professional career was dedicated to cinema and also to television fiction. She attended the Conservation and Restoration course at FCT and three years ago she moved to the western Algarve where the doors were opened to other passions and opportunities, among them, getting her hands on the land, continuing to evolve in video editing and being part of a cultural association. However, from his difficulty in finding a regular meeting place for residents with common motivations, and from his desire to bring the community together, he launched into the realization of this possibility of organizing moments of tertulia and sharing that could serve as a starting point for cultural, environmental and social actions.
