The Municipality of Covilhã is pleased to announce the third edition of Covilhã Creative Week (CCW), from November 8th to 14th 2024.
The event will be held under the theme “Design and the City” understanding the first as a fundamental tool for humanizing urban and peri-urban spaces, which shape our collective and shared imaginations of the places we inhabit and experience. The city is not a final destination but a continuous, open-ended project: a succession of spatial and temporal phases in which we, its inhabitants, participate daily and actively. It is, therefore, like a book that best narrates the history and transformations brought about “in” and “by” its communities.
Therefore, Covilhã Creative Week will present a diverse and open program to the community, involving various local and national entities in multiple cultural activities. The Municipal Day for Culture, November 8th, marks the beginning of the celebrations and the third anniversary of our city’s designation as a UNESCO Creative City of Design.
The Municipality believes that “Weaving the Future” involves increasingly raising public awareness about the role of design in improving quality of life and in valuing endogenous resources of the territory, whether through the promotion of inclusion and cultural, social, and environmental sustainability, the preservation of a common heritage, or the optimization of living conditions for everyone, in the development of mobility, and the promotion of accessibility to public spaces and services. In this context, there will be showcases of multiple entities and entrepreneurs who contribute to developing a territorially-based creative ecosystem, attracting the general community to the design culture.
