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.

Direitos Humanos — a sala de aula e/é o mundo

O que são os direitos humanos? Como podemos repensar o mundo através deles? E como trazê-los para dentro da sala de aula? A cada vez maior complexidade das realidades sociais, políticas e ambientais exige novas competências por parte dos professores. Dia 23 de março, Simone Andrade, mediadora popular em direitos humanos, desenvolve uma oficina na Escola Secundária de Alcanena.
