| 2023/06/09 | I gave a presentation entitled: A Identidade Imaterial da Freguesia, along with two other members of Associação Maria Matos. This presentation was integrated in the meeting 1ª Jornadas Sobre Património Cultural Imaterial, organized to discuss the existence and preservation of intangible cultural heritage. This topic is one of UNESCO's goals since 2003. Since Lourinhã is a place rich in this heritage, it was important to organize this meeting to discuss what exists here, what is being done to preserve it and what can be done in the future. | 1ª Jornadas Sobre Património Cultural Imaterial
