  • On the COVID-19 crisis and public procurement

    We are living in a time of crisis, and it is not a secret. The COVID-19 pandemic has taken us by surprise and has abruptly obliged us to change our habits. As Europeans, we are used to travel with few restrictions, to go out for coffee and dinner, to have hours-long meeting around a table in our offices. As of now, travels must be restricted to the essential ones, cafés and restaurants are closed and meetings happen mostly online, where the faces of our colleagues appear on small squares on our computer screens, with kids and pets running in the background.

  • LOURES BRINGS CHILDREN CLOSER TO AGRICULTURE AND ENVIRONMENT

    The City Council of Loures organised in January and February, when covid-19 was still something far away from our “reality”, a series of workshops in two of the RU:RBAN pilots, the Quinta do Conventinho and the Petrogal urban gardens, aimed at bringing children closer to good environmental practices. Children are the engine, the driving force for a real change from some agricultural practices still in place, for example the use of chemicals in urban gardens, towards healthy and environmentally friendly practices. How do we do this? Through education, training and…why not, playing!
