Project Pergunta

The "Proyecto Pregunta" aimed to enhance debate in public space and consequently activate collective knowledge in our city.  In Faro, the project included five actions with different groups, where the public was invited to participate in a set of activities to promote questioning tools on various social issues and foster new types of discussion and civic awareness, culminating later in street interventions where a giant structure "walked" around the city of Faro presenting the results of this work and simultaneously encouraging the population to formulate new questions.

Points of view for
​ something bigger​

​From the very first day, this team has had the humility to want to make this a project that’s created by all, for all; one that values and celebrates diversity as a source of cultural wealth. As Steve Green (Former President of the selection panel for the European Capital of Culture), states: “We don't want to celebrate the city, we want to change the city”.
And we want to do so by going beyond the obvious results and descriptions.
​We want to gather our people and walk our own path together, as a city, revealing our identity, which is ours alone, and which sets us apart… allowing us to set an example!

Which is why we’re counting on you getting involved too!
