Forum of the Future in Porto: the outstanding debate is just around the corner

The Forum of the Future 2019 runs from 3rd till 9th November, at Rivoli. The programme will be announced shortly.

This year's Forum of the Future dwells on the concepts of otherness, extraction and appropriation as a means to territorial and cultural occupation, in line, as well, with the celebrated symbolism of the 500 years of the first circumnavigation of the globe and the spirit which led Magellan to sail around the world.  

Debates, performances and workshops will bring to the table the discussion of people's struggles for their national liberation and for democracy, both throughout the centuries and in present time.

Moreover, violence, subjection, love and solidarity are also issues that will be debated this year.

The Forum of the Future is an annual event that gathers in the city of Porto renowned specialists and thinkers on a specific theme, and this year's edition is devoted to debating ancient times and civilizations in relation with contemporaneity. The Forum of the Future shows that culture awareness is not a figure of speech in Porto.
