April Happened Here - Commemoration of the 25 April Revolution at Largo do Carmo
As part of the European meeting “Unarchiving Democracy: Youth, Post-Colonial Memory and the Making of Democracy in Portugal”, a commemorative action marking the Carnation Revolution will take place.
The initiative will be held at Largo do Carmo on 23 April at 7:00 PM, a key site in Portugal’s contemporary history where decisive moments leading to the fall of the dictatorship unfolded.
“April Happened Here” invites participants to come together for a moment of remembrance and civic engagement through a symbolic placement of carnations.
Bring a carnation
Bring a word
Celebrate Freedom
The action is part of the European project FREI - From Resistance to European Integration, which promotes reflection on the paths linking resistance to authoritarian regimes with the construction of democracy and the European project.
