The seminar "Festa dos Tabuleiros, Cultural Heritage and the Community" will be held on 21 July in the Auditorium of Dr José Bayolo Pacheco de Amorim of the Polytechnic of Tomar. 

The event, resulting from the ongoing project at Techn&Art - Centro de Tecnologia, Restauro e Valorização das Artes and a partnership between the Polytechnic of Tomar and the Tomar City Council, aims to broaden the reflection and debate on the Festa dos Tabuleiros, with a natural focus on the recent inclusion of this unique heritage in the “Inventário Nacional do Património Cultural Imaterial”. 

The initiative will bring together more than a dozen guests from different institutions and is scheduled to start at 2.30 pm. 

Registration here.
