Heritales promotes @ Casa Do Buirgos Evora – Portugal (15th-18th of April 2026)

Heritales at the University of Évora promotes The 2nd International Seminar of the BRIDGES Project, entitled ‘I Have A Dream.

In the light of diversity: art, culture, public policy and the digital world’, will focus particularly on culture and diversity, as well as the ways in which the principles of equality are being undermined. The title refers directly to Martin Luther King’s vision of true equality, as expressed in his famous 1963 speech, ‘I Have a Dream’, which called for an end to racial discrimination, by choosing the words and wishes of union.

During the three-day event, international lecturers, researchers and artists will present their studies and results, demonstrating the importance of public policies in culture and the role of education and the arts in promoting diversity and fostering integration within communities. The research highlights the importance of combatting xenophobia and hate speech directed at migrants, refugees, the Romani-Gypsy community, and cultural minorities.

This second international seminar of the BRIDGES project aims to explore inclusion and highlight possible ways of promoting it through culture. The event will address the following themes: public cultural policies; educational initiatives to promote racial and cultural diversity; perspectives on racism and xenophobia; integration policies for refugees, immigrants, and the Roma community; combatting racism and hate speech; and artistic expressions as a means of raising awareness of these issues and achieving equality through the transformative power of culture.
