The Materiais Diversos Festival promotes the meeting of different audiences and imaginaries around the arts (dance, theatre, music and performance) with thought, questioning actuality and fostering cultural participation as a condition for citizenship. Born in Minde, in 2009, it spread to Alcanena and Cartaxo (in 2013) and became one of the most representative projects for programming outside the large centres in Portugal, attempting to think and act from the places it originates. It had been occurring annually until 2017 and became a biannual event starting with its 10th edition in 2019.

From the 3rd to the 12th of October 2025, the Festival Materiais Diversos will be in Alcanena and Minde with a program of dance, theater and music shows, installations and conversations.

Workshop for an Accessible Cultural Practice

With Elisabete Paiva, APPACDM Santarém e Agrupamento de Escolas Sá da Bandeira

This workshop is intended to be a step towards building a local professional community that is committed to accessing culture, which is a right of all people. Thus, in addition to sharing updated material on culture and accessibility, namely principles, terminology, practices to be adopted and examples of projects, we will be able to discuss from day-to-day examples with technicians who work with people with disabilities and/or S /urdas.

Workshop reserved for employees of the Municipality of Cartaxo.

●●● This workshop is part of the program Materiais Acessíveis.
