    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!

  • ROME'S ULG MEETING AT TIMES OF COVID-19

    If anyone had told me, just a few weeks ago, that today I would find myself writing this article confined within the four walls of my home I probably would have burst out laughing…but there is little to laugh about. We are facing one of the worst health emergencies in the last 100 years, an unprecedented situation which no one could have foreseen when welcoming the new year, but here we are. Images of scenes of despair, pain and disbelief flow in front of us and, at the same time, of great humanity and solidarity. What is emerging of all this is the ability of the human kind to respond resiliently to new shocks such as the one we are witnessing. What is certain to all of us is that nothing will ever be the same after this, nothing should ever be the same.
