Quality of Life QUALITY OF LIFE You're Spring Guide to Portugal, what to do, where to go and things to see This is a guide to get to know better the main places and celebrations that take place in Portugal during the spring period INDEX 01 APRIL EASTER, APRIL 25TH 02 MAY LABOUR DAY, FÁTIMA 03 JUNE PORTUGAL DAY, SANTOS Kleya | Quality of Life APRIL SPRING EDITION | APRIL CELEBRATING EASTER IN PORTUGAL Easter is a period of the year when most of the people take some days off to visit family or discover new places. In Portugal, during Easter, we are already enjoying Spring weather which means that you will most probably find here excellent temperatures and sunny weather all over the country. Easter is, for definition, the most typical moment of the Catholic Church and in Portugal, you'll find a lot of cities and regions that embrace this moment on maximum exponent. Perhaps one of the most famous ones is the in the Portuguese region of Minho, at the city of Braga. Braga's Holy Week unites its modern image to the several public and private ceremonies loaded with Christian tradition. Their most relevant representations are processions, authentic recreations of the ceremonious Christian audience, with a remarkable mobilization and whose essence goes beyond the limits of belief, being a relevant tourist-cultural attraction. In addition to the processions, you are can attend liturgical nature ceremonies, which express the specificities of the Time of Lent and of the Easter Triduum, but also the rituals and traditions of Braga. The Cathedral is the most significant stage for these celebrations and a mandatory place for visitors while in Braga. Braga's holy week is a great excuse to get to know Braga's historic centre, renowned for its baroque churches, splendid 18th-century manor houses and beautiful parks and gardens. Being in Braga and not going to the Bom Jesus do Monte Sanctuary, considered one of the most beautiful sanctuaries in Portugal, is even more unforgivable than going to Rome and not seeing the Pope. The neoclassical church, surrounded by magnificent gardens, was designed by Carlos Amarante in the late 18th century. The famous and tiring Baroque staircase winds until it reaches the church, with charming fountains and statues along the way. Kleya | Quality of Life SPRING EDITION | APRIL CELEBRATING EASTER IN PORTUGAL But if climbing 573 steps is not your cup of tea, don't worry, there is also a funicular, or you can drive to the top and enjoy the peaceful environment and splendid views. To replenish your energy, we recommend some of Braga's gastronomic specialities, and it is essential to mention Bacalhau à Braga, Narcisa or Minho. The roasted goat and the Pudim Abade de Priscos are also other must-haves. Going down to the Center of Portugal, we find the medieval village of Óbidos, one of the most picturesque and best-preserved in Portugal. The Holy Week in Óbidos is one of the best posters of the village, which runs from the 5th to the 12th of April. Every year, religious and cultural ceremonies attract thousands of people at this time of year to the village of Óbidos. These ceremonies are among the oldest in the country, with the Passos procession having more than 400 years of existence. Among the various events that Obidos organizes throughout the year, Semana Santa is the highlight of the liturgical and cultural calendar of the Vila, being an important religious event for the local community, as well as for the several thousand pilgrims and tourists who attend the imposing ceremonies. Kleya | Quality of Life SPRING EDITION | APRIL CELEBRATING EASTER IN PORTUGAL Every year the ceremonies have several classical music concerts, mainly of religious content, among other cultural activities. Close to the capital and situated on a high point, close to the Atlantic coast, Óbidos had strategic importance in the territory, since King D. Dinis offered it to his wife D. Isabel, in the XIII century. Within walls, we find a well-kept castle and a maze of streets and white houses that enchant those who pass by. Among Manueline porches, flowered windows and small squares, there are several reasons to visit, good examples of the religious and civil architecture of the golden times of the village. Any time is a good time to visit Óbidos, not only at Easter but it is also an excellent suggestion for a romantic or peaceful weekend. And if you include an overnight stay in the castle, then the setting will be perfect. In terms of local gastronomy, the fish stew of Lagoa de Óbidos stands out, accompanied by wines from the Western Demarcated Region. Another attraction is the famous Ginjinha de Óbidos, which can be enjoyed in several places, preferably in a small glass of chocolate. In addition to the Holy Week, a vast program of events brings animation to this village, the most popular being the International Chocolate Festival, the Medieval Market and the Christmas Fair. If you choose to spend Holy Week in Óbidos, discover the surroundings from the long sandy beach of Praia d'El Rey, passing through the city of Caldas da Rainha, and enjoy the sunset, by the sea, at Foz do Arelho beach.

SPRING EDITION | APRIL APRIL 25th, THE DAY TO CELEBRATE THE CARNATION REVOLUTION IN PORTUGAL The Carnation Revolution was one of the most important and remarkable events in the recent history of Portugal, that took place on April 25, 1974, the day when 48 years of dictatorial regime ended. At dawn on April 25, 74, military personnel from the MFA (Movement of the Armed Forces) occupied the studios of Rádio Clube Português to explain to the Portuguese people that they wanted the country to be a democracy again, without censorship, with elections and ... freedom! Radio Clube Portugês also played a crucial role in the Portuguese revolution, because the military waited that morning for the transmission of two specific songs, 25 minutes apart - E Depois do Adeus of Paulo de Carvalho and Grândola Vila Morena of Zeca Afonso. The radio emission of these two songs served as confirmation that everyone was ready and that the revolution could move on as planned. At the same time, a military column with tanks, commanded by Captain Salgueiro Maia, left the Escola Prática de Cavalaria, in Santarém, and marched towards Lisbon. At 5.45 am the forces coming from Santarém arrived at Terreiro do Paço, later they would take positions with the ministries and then surround the Quartel do Carmo where Marcelo Caetano - the last President of the Estado Novo - had taken refuge. During the day, the population of Lisbon joined the military. And what was a coup d'etat turned into a revolution. At one point, a flower vendor started handing out carnations, the soldiers placed the carnation in the barrel of the rifle and the civilians put the flower in their chest, and that is why today we call it the Carnation Revolution.

  • The Day of Portugal and Portuguese Heritage, Social Exclusion, and Imagined Mobilities: Legacies of Racialized Migrant Industrial Labor in Contemporary New England
    MIGUEL MONIZ The Day of Portugal and Portuguese Heritage, Social Exclusion, and Imagined Mobilities: Legacies of Racialized Migrant Industrial Labor in Contemporary New England ABSTRACT: Commemorations and monument dedications have been part of Portu- guese-speaking migrant place-making and as responses to social exclusion in New En- gland since these arrivals settled in and built industrial and agricultural worker com- munities beginning in the late nineteenth century. The racialization of migrant laborer identities imposed by discourse and law and supported by scientific studies relying upon genetic data, assisted politicians and elites during the second Industrial Revolu- tion to limit the civic and labor organization rights of workers. This study examines the complex history of Portuguese worker strategies to confront their civic, social, and ra- cial assimilability through civic associations that organized migrant participation in U.S. national celebrations (Fourth of July, Pilgrim ceremonies, war veterans’ memorials) and migrant community commemorations (including Portuguese heritage days and mon- ument dedications like Dighton Rock). Contemporary Day of Portugal celebrations and other heritage dedications that shape social participation in multi-cultural democracy are examined in light of the legacies of white nationalist strategies advocating for Por- tuguese social mobility. The study examines how some of the ritual elements of today’s celebrations yet promote discourses of racialized laborer hierarchies. KEYWORDS: monuments and commemorations, “black” and “white” Portuguese, asso- ciations and associativism RESUMO: Comemorações e dedicatórias de monumentos têm feito parte da construção de “place making” de migrantes lusófonas e como respostas à exclusão social na Nova Inglaterra desde que estes migrantes se estabeleceram em comunidades de trabalhado- res industriais e agrícolas a partir do final do século XIX.

I certainly hope that your school year went well and that your students were all successful, each in their own way, in their studies of Spanish and/or Portuguese. Technology, along with flipped classrooms, fully online, hybrid, project-based learning, interdisciplinary courses, and more, gives us many tools and methods to ponder during the summer. It may be time to practice using Skype, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and other new social media in order to be proficient enough in them to use them creatively in your teaching. Or it may be time for you to give technology training a rest by taking a trip or a summer course in a Spanish or Portuguese-Speaking country in order to converse directly with other human beings in the target language to perfect your language skills and acquire new and current vocabulary and cultural knowledge.

  • The Top 20 Arts-Vibrant Large Communities
    (/) Arts Vibrancy 2020 Top 20 Large Communities The Top 20 Arts-Vibrant Large Communities Here you will nd details and proles on the top 20 arts-vibrant communities with population of 1,000,000 or more. The rankings on the metrics and measures range from a high of 1 to a low of 947 since there are 947 unique MSAs and Metro Divisions. We offer insights into each community’s arts and cultural scene and report rankings for Arts Providers, Arts Dollars, and Government Support, as well as the rankings of the underlying measures. Subtle distinctions often emerge that illuminate particular strengths. Again, in determining the ranking, we weight Arts Providers and Arts Dollars at 45% each and Government Support at 10%. The two Metro Divisions that make up the larger Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV, MSA — Washington- Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VAMD-WV and Frederick-Gaithersburg-Rockville, MD — made the list for the sixth year in a row. By contrast, Chicago-Naperville-Arlington Heights, IL, was the only one of four Metro Divisions of the Chicago-Naperville- Elgin, IL-IN-WI, MSA, to make the list each of the past six years. Chicago appears to have high arts vibrancy in the urban core that is less prevalent in the surrounding areas. The dispersion of arts vibrancy has increased over the years for the larger MSAs of Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA- NJ-DE-MD, New York-Newark- Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA, and San Francisco-Oakland-Berkeley, CA. More of the Metropolitan Divisions that constitute these three, large MSAs have made the list over time.
