Report by Ms. Paula Helena Santos, the Municipality of Évora, Portugal
On 21 September 2022, marking the International Day of Peace, the Municipality of Évora initiated a programme of guided tours to the sites in Lisbon which help participants raise awareness of the struggle for peace, tolerance and the values of freedom. These sites include the Carmo’s Barracks, Museum of GNR (National Republican Guard), and Museum of Aljube–Resistance and Freedom. The programme is open to users of the Elderly Municipal Centre, employees of the Municipality of Évora, and secondary school students in Évora. This “From Peace to Freedom” programme, supported by the Museum of GNR and the Museum of Aljube, will be carried out until 20 April 2023, five days before the 49th anniversary of Portugal’s April 25th Revolution.
