Who we are

Find out who makes up the Rede Cultura 2027 Network

WHO ARE WE?

REDE CULTURA 2027 is a platform that brings together cultural agents from the entire region stretching between Castanheira de Pera and Arruda dos Vinhos, Tomar and Nazaré. A total of 26 municipalities have decided to come together to apply for the 2017 title of European Capital of Culture, making it possible to find out who we are, where we are and what we do.

 

WHAT DO WE DO?

When it comes to our homeland, we know what is happening and where. We can write ourselves into the programme and find out what others are doing. When it comes to granting desires, we can book a trip or a special weekend. If we’re given a theme, an unexpected invitation can be sent to a friend. Here is our programme.

 

PATH

We don’t quite know what the path we’ll take looks like yet, because we’ve only just started walking. For now, our destination is still only a meeting. As we walk together, desires and wills will be born from the conversations we have along the way. It will be from this journey we go on together that bridges and other experiences will be born.
