Landscape with people inside
Community Project

From March 11th to 13th, the photo sessions for the “Landscape with people inside” project took place, under the artistic direction of nature photographer João Cosme.

These sessions focused on documenting and highlighting the local natural heritage, with participating groups having the opportunity to visit various locations in the Municipality of Oliveira de Frades, spanning several civil parishes, namely: Arcozelo das Maias (Ladário); Civil parish union of the civil parishes of Arca and Varzielas, in Paranho de Arca (Carvalhedo da Gândara); São Vicente de Lafões, in Ferreiros (Picnic Park and Ribeira da Azia); Bandonagens (Ferreiros–Batoco Railway Tunnel); and Santiaguinho (Roman Road).

Participants also had the opportunity to learn about and take part in an activity from the “Cabra D’oiro” project by Misericórdia Castro Daire, which took place at the Vale do Vouga Line Interpretive Center (former station) in Oliveira de Frades.

These sessions were attended by Municipal Councilor Elisa Ferraz de Oliveira; Luís Costa, Coordinator of Binaural Nodar—Cultural Association; Corporals João Alves and João Santos, representing the National Republican Guard; various municipal staff members; and the project mentors.

The “Landscape with people inside” project was approved under the Inclusion through Culture program, following an application submitted by the Municipality to CCDR Centro.
