The dinner, which will take place at the Solar do Vinho do Dão on the 5th, will feature a cultural moment led by the Vozes de Manhouce, a singing group made up of women from the village of Manhouce.
The parish of Manhouce is one of the largest parishes in the municipality of S. Pedro do Sul. It lies at the western end of the municipality, on the border with the municipality of Oliveira de Frades and the municipality of Vale de Cambra, in the district of Aveiro.
The origin of the parish’s place name is possibly associated with ‘tilling the land’ and a place called Couço. So ‘manho’, from tilling the land and Couço, linked to the place, may have originated ‘Manhecouço’ and later Manhouce.
Congress Objectives
1
Contribute to the production, consolidation and sharing of agroecological knowledge and experiences, in promoting the transition to sustainable food systems through debate and consensus on the common elements between the world's agroecologies.
2

3
Give visibility to agroecologies from the Global South to the North
Subjects
