Where does freedom lie?
April 1st to 5th, 10am to 5pm
7 to 12 years old; entry €14/day; Registration via servicoeducativo@casafernandopessoa.pt
A activity relating to citizenship which will search for the meaning of five key words: dictatorship, censorship, resistance, revolution and freedom. This workshop organised by Casa Fernando Pessoa will reveal that life was not always as we now know it and that safeguarding freedom is everyone’s duty.
Word Workshop: poetry and revolution
April 20, 10am to 5pm
13 to 18 years old; entry €14; Registration via servicoeducativo@casafernandopessoa.pt
Reading and interpretation exercises based on poems by various authors who were also involved in the revolution, such as Maria Teresa Horta, Natália Correia, Maria Velho da Costa and Maria Isabel Barreno.

Day of the Book – Night of the Radio
April 23, 9pm
Free entrance
On the night of the 24 to the 25 April, it was the radio that brought the first word. Now we want the voice of the radio to reclaim the strength which is written into the books. We’ve searched texts written at different times and in different places, poetry, novels and non-fiction; different in every way, except in the power that they recognise in the word freedom. We give way to the radio journalists.
I don’t publish because I can’t

Organised by Casa Fernando Pessoa, this tour begins at Palácio Foz (Praça dos Restauradores) and explores downtown Lisbon and the texts Pessoa wrote about censorship and freedom of expression (1926-1935), against the backdrop of the cultural and artistic changes imposed by the Estado Novo regime.
Autopsychografia

Andrea Conangla brings us her first solo album in a multimedia concert, as part of the celebrations commemorating the fifty years since the revolution of 25 April. Through texts by Fernando Pessoa, set to music by composers from various parts of the continent, the album reflects the diversity, richness, and the achievements of the European project in the areas of culture and citizenship.
