Cultural Activites

We’ve curated this month’s selection to help you learn more about Portuguese Culture!
On September 18th, Saudade School is pleased to accompany its students for the very first time to the Codfish History Interpretation Center:
- The exhibition is dedicated to codfish and the connection of the Portuguese people with the sea.
- It emerged in Portuguese eating habits starting in the 15th century.
- Life on board is also evoked through objects and oral testimonies from fishermen.
During the visit, it is also possible to maneuver a dory boat and experience the loneliness and low temperatures to which line fishermen were subjected.
After that, we will visit the Rua Augusta Arch, an iconic and representative monument of the city of Lisbon:
The Rua Augusta Arch provides access to a viewpoint offering a 360º panoramic view over the city. The emblematic Terreiro do Paço square, the Baixa Pombalina, the Sé Cathedral, the São Jorge Castle, and the Tagus River are some of the iconic landmarks seen from the top of the building.
We look forward to sharing it with you!
Book Club Meetings

For the 8th session of our book club, we’ve chosen to talk about José Saramago.
Saramago is a controversial writer.
His writing evokes social intervention, political and religious criticism and condemnation of Portuguese society; topics covered by the omniscient voice of an ever-present narrator, showcasing absolute mastery of the Portuguese language.
Essay on Lucidity is the starting point of this adventure, a novel about the relationship between those who govern and those who choose to be governed.
In the next Entrelinhas, we enter the Saramago universe to read and discuss very current issues: freedom, power, and democracy.
After all, where does obedience end and lucidity begin?
Join us at Saudade on September 26th, at 15:00 to discuss this masterpiece!
