The National Museum of Ethnology is inseparable from the history of Portuguese anthropology. In it, a fundamental dimension of the work of the pioneers of this discipline in the country is projected. From the Center for Ethnology Studies, which he has directed since 1947, Jorge Dias and those who will accompany him in subsequent years, Margot Dias, Ernesto Veiga de Oliveira, Fernando Galhano and Benjamim Pereira, among others, begin an extensive and continuous research on elements of material culture that, years later, would also be collected to form the museum’s collections. The path of that anthropologist will lead him and Margot Dias to the north of Mozambique where, in successive periods of fieldwork, starting in 1957, they will build a solid ethnography about the Maconde people. The partial result of that investigation will be the subject of an exhibition held in Lisbon in 1959 and it is in this context that the explicit intention of creating a Museum of Ethnology arises. In 1965 the museum was created with the ambitious program of representing the cultures of the peoples of the globe, not being restricted, therefore, neither to Portugal nor to the overseas domains under its administration.

Gathering of Tribes is a co-created participatory festival inspired by ancient tribal gatherings, mediaeval fairs, unconferences and Burning Man.
A temporary village bringing together regenerative communities to connect, inspire and learn, celebrating and growing the regenerative movement.
A playful agora of serendipitous connection, dialogue & learning for a weeklet’s build a village unlike any other.
The Gathering of Tribes invites into co-creation everyone striving to create a regenerative future.
Whether a community, a company, a cooperative, a village, or a DAO, we invite all organisations formal and informal wanting to engage in the regenerative movement to gather in celebration, dialogue and mutual support, to playfully connect, inspire, cross-pollinate, dance and learn.
We embrace a wide understanding of regeneration applied to how we live and create. A regenerative mindset for work, health, spirituality, home, neighbourhood and bioregion.

WHAT IS RE:BUILD?
The pandemic has accelerated the adoption of remote working, freeing millions to choose where they live without constraint. It has also awakened in so many of us the desire to live differently; closer to nature and in community.
Our mission is to inspire and embolden a global movement of re:builders who are ready to step into action and build new villages, in both rural and urban locations, that embody and celebrate regenerative values and principles.
Each year we host an online global festival and enable physical gatherings that bring together re:builders, landowners and investors to share their expertise and collabo- rate on new partnerships and projects.

Film projection in a heritage space. Creating synergies with cultural groups and local associations. Communication made with the support of the Grupo de Amigos do Museu Regional de Beja and the involvement of various cultural associations.

The Outeiro do Circo archaeological project (PAOC) investigates the Late Bronze Age fortified settlement of Outeiro do Circo (1250-850 BC), located in the municipality of Beja, Alentejo, South of Portugal. Another line of work of the project, since its beginning, has been the dissemination of archaeological knowledge among the community. Beyond the archaeological works developed since 2008 in the framework of two scientific projects (2008-2013 and 2014-2017), the PAOC also promoted the research of the Bronze Age in the region of Beja. Other activities developed by the project are the training of students from various scientific areas through their participation, as volunteers, in the archaeological fieldworks; the creation and maintenance of links with the local community, through the accomplishment of several public archaeology and heritage education activities; and the touristic promotion of the region through their heritage values.
