Sociedade Harmonia Eborense (1x3)

Date de diffusion: Fév 20, 2021

Sociedade Harmonia Eborense is an association that is 171 years old. It was born in 1849, in the aftermath of the clashes that opposed liberals and absolutists. Its name – Harmonia - comprises a conciliatory concept on the part of its founders, in the quest for peace among people. It is located in the most central of Évora’s urban spaces, and for over one century and a half it has been a reflection of Évora, with a great capacity to adapt to social and political times and experiences. During all these years, Harmonia has brought together countless people with the purpose of sharing, fostering and preserving the local culture. Pablo Vidal, the current president of Sociedade Harmonia Eborense, believes in Évora’s candidacy to become the European Capital of Culture and considers that it is crucial to the process. It will be an opportunity for local associations, which often find themselves isolated for the sake of survival, to come together and to think together for the common good.
