Interioridades #2 – The words and thoughts of proximity is the title of this initiative promoted by the Jornal do Fundão newspaper which, on 13 October, in Vale d’Urso,  will be bringing together  personalities from different areas who think and act with regard to Inland regions.

This second edition is relaunching the Interioridades project  which will now take place twice a year – once in spring and once in autumn - and  always in villages in the Beira Interior, and encourage  interaction and the sharing of experiences, values and solutions.

This event has the support of the Municipality of Fundão and the Parish Council of Souto da Casa.
