"Give them a face, a name and a story": Portuguese Council for Refugees "demystifies myths" at MEO Kalorama

SIC Notícias29 August 2026 at 19:07

The Portuguese Council for Refugees (CPR) was present at the MEO Kalorama festival with an initiative that aims to "give a face, a name and a story" to refugees, thus seeking to "demystify myths" about this population.

The initiative takes place among concerts and thousands of festival-goers, offering an alternative space where participants can sit, listen and learn about stories of people who came to Portugal seeking protection.

The CPR takes advantage of the festival environment to bring the public closer to the realities experienced by refugees, promoting greater understanding and debunking prejudices through direct contact with these personal stories.
