Upcoming event: From Memory to Action

ABOUT THE EVENT

Inspired by the moral courage of Aristides de Sousa Mendes, this international seminar brings together public institutions, humanitarian organisations, researchers, educators, refugees and civil society to reflect on today’s refugee challenges and build concrete actions for the future together.

Two days of keynote talks, testimonies, workshops and encounter, in the very place where Sousa Mendes lived and from where his legacy continues to inspire the world.

Participation is free upon registration. Places are limited.
