Na Mouraria: Heritage and Security in Lisbon's Historic Centre

الصورة
NaMouraria

NaMoura explores Lisbon's Mouraria as the lens through which to investigate under-researched and entangled geographies of heritage and security in the urban world. How do heritage and security align and interact to shape the imagination and construction of cities?

The project addresses this question not only by revisiting archival material and scholarly works on the neighborhood in light of the new research question mentioned above, but also by ethnographically researching the discursive and material unfolding of heritage and security, as experienced and interpreted by various individuals.

NaMoura tests and complements theoretical intuitions and analytical lenses that have arisen from Vera Lazzaretti, the Principal Investigator's work in urban India, on a distinctively different empirical terrain. Insights from Mouraria, exemplifying contemporary urban dynamics characterized by migration, touristification, gentrification, and regeneration, where both security and heritage often play overlooked roles, will contribute to a fresh theoretical understanding of heritage and security as interconnected urban processes.

CRIA - Centro em rede de Investigação em Antropologia (Centre for Research in Anthropology), a member of the Anna Lindh Foundation's Portuguese Branch, is a dynamic network based on four universities (ISCTE, NOVA FCSH,  UCoimbra and UMinho). This network enables each institutional division to autonomously develop its own activities while sharing the fundamental resources necessary to the management, fundraising, research dissemination, teaching and knowledge transfer. Furthermore, it encourages the mobility of CRIA’s researchers between the different institutional grounds.

Research in CRIA is structured in four major research groups which compose its scientific core and bring together researchers from the different institutional divisions. They promote a transnational network of research in anthropology that maximises resources and skills formerly scattered, resulting in a thickened scientific production at theoretical, methodological and thematic levels. Its consolidation is achieved by means of CRIA’s involvement, both as a partner and a host institution, in several projects and programmes in theoretical and applied research, nationally or internationally funded by various entities, the private sector and civil society.

CRIA’s mission also comprises the tightening of the relationships between research and training programmes through the organisation of courses and activities related to teaching in the four universities. In addition, CRIA hosts students of different levels of higher education, contributing to their integration in the scientific community.

General Information

Refugees Welcome Portugal is a project of On The Road - Humanitarian Association, aiming to create a welcoming culture for refugees in Portugal. We provide social support in housing, teaching Portuguese, employability, legal support, and organize cultural and leisure activities to integrate migrant and local communities. Our organization consists of a dedicated team of 3 staff members and 12 volunteers and collaborates with various local and international partners. Annually, we operate with a budget of €150,000, sourced from government grants, private donations, and international funds. We engage in diverse activities, including youth exchanges, seminars, and non formal education at schools. Our main partners include local municipalities, educational institutions, and international refugee support networks. Since 2018, we have expanded our efforts to European refugee camps, providing humanitarian aid to migrants and refugees in transit countries.

Mission and Objectives

We believe that all people should be treated with dignity and respect, and the situations of the most vulnerable deserve special attention. We reject all types of discrimination, whether racial, national, cultural, religious, social, gender based… And we believe in building an open, informed, free from prejudice and welcoming society, especially for those suffering persecution, coming from conflict zones or simply not being able to pursue a dignified life, they are forced to leave their homes and seek asylum with us. The action of Refugees Welcome Portugal has been evolving since 2016, seeking to meet the needs and challenges faced by migrants and refugees in Portugal. We provide social support, in the area of ​​housing, teaching Portuguese, employability, legal support and we also organize cultural and leisure activities, whose objective is to bring the migrant community and the local community closer together. At the same time, we have an important focus on awareness, as we believe that information is the first step towards positive change and towards creating more welcoming and active communities. Our mission began in Portugal, but we quickly realized that it is not possible to fight for a welcoming, informed and active society in the construction of a fairer world, if we disconnect from what is happening in the world. Since 2018, Refugees Welcome Portugal has been working in several refugee camps in Europe, seeking to maintain a constant presence at the international level, acting in particular in humanitarian support for migrants and refugees in transit countries.

Main Projects / Activities

Refugees Welcome Portugal undertakes a variety of projects and activities aimed at supporting refugees and fostering a welcoming culture. We provide essential social support services, including safe and affordable housing, Portuguese language education to aid integration, employability programs that offer training and job placement services, and legal assistance to help refugees navigate the asylum process and other legal challenges. In addition to these services, we organize cultural and leisure activities designed to bring the migrant and local communities together, promoting mutual understanding and integration. Our awareness campaigns are vital in educating the public about refugee issues, aiming to create a more inclusive and welcoming society. We also implement educational programs in schools, teaching students about human rights, refugee issues, and the importance of diversity and inclusion. This helps to build a foundation of understanding and empathy in the next generation. On an international level, since 2018, we have extended our efforts to refugee camps across Europe, providing direct humanitarian aid to migrants and refugees in transit countries. Our work is strengthened through collaborations with local municipalities, educational institutions, and international organizations, enhancing the effectiveness and reach of our projects.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Refugees Welcome Portugal can contributes to the Network by effectively engaging communities and raising awareness about refugee issues through various channels, including social media, research and local events. Our project management skills are demonstrated through initiatives such as our mentorship program, which pairs refugees with local volunteers, enhancing their integration process. We have a strong track record in fundraising, securing essential funds to support programs like our employability initiatives, which help refugees secure stable employment. Additionally, we actively advocate for refugee rights, engaging with policymakers to promote and develop inclusive and supportive policies. We also prioritize capacity building by providing training for our volunteers and partners, enhancing their ability to support refugees effectively. Furthermore, we collaborate with local NGOs, government bodies, and other stakeholders to strengthen our collective impact, working towards a more welcoming and supportive environment for refugees in our country.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We're excited about joining the Ana Lindh Foundation Network because it aligns perfectly with our mission at Refugees Welcome Portugal and also our goal to increase the number of international networks that we are part. We're commited about fostering understanding between cultures and creating a more inclusive society for refugees and migrants and minorities in general. Being part of this network means we can collaborate closely with a wide range of organizations across Europe and the Mediterranean and share ideas, learn from each other, and make a bigger impact in advocating for refugee rights and promoting cultural diversity.

General Information

Ouroboro is a creative collective that recycles and repurposes plastic waste gathered from natural and urban areas.

Mission and Objectives

The community will not only be involved in the collection of waste, but can also participate in the rest of the circular chain. By joining this project, people have access to the knowledge and tools that allow them to transform plastic and create new useful products.

Their goal is to educate others on how they can live more sustainably, in a non-formal, fun and creative way.

Main Projects / Activities

Instead of perceiving plastic as a problem with no possible solution, we chose to change our mindset and recognize its potential. We believe that creating a safe space to test people’s ideas will surely produce the change we long to see in the world.

First, together with a group of volunteers we collect plastic waste from our local area. Then, we sort it by type and clean it before shredding it in the machine. Once it’s shredded, we can transform it by melting it into any shape we want by using different types of equipment, such as 3D printers, for example. After deciding which object we will build, we get to work and focus on creating something useful and long-lasting. The most important task of the day is to share our experience and know-how with others, educating and empowering them, and giving them the chance to try it for themselves.

Mission and Objectives

PedeXumbo is a cultural association that has been promoting popular dances and music in Portugal since 1998. The association was born of a small group of fellows’ longing to dance informally in a time when traditional dances were confined to productions staged by professional folk ensembles. The Association now hires five professionals, but it is backed up by a thousand volunteers to organise events all around the country, all year long. These events have the main purpose of restoring to popular balls its socialising role: we would like to see everybody enjoying dancing, witch ever style, sharing a moment together. Our events are meant to occur in tune with local people and habits, always with a care to environmental sustainability.

Main Projects / Activities

Our activities can be grouped in four main areas:
4. Festivals
