Since October 2014, this monthly seminar promotes a multidisciplinary reflection around the themes related to social movements and the different forms of political action, militancy and activism. The aim is to put in dialogue different perspectives, methodologies and approaches in order to develop an in-depth and innovative debate. The seminar also intends to take advantage of Portugal's special geographical, linguistic and epistemological position to cross different traditions of studies on social movements and political action, the different European/North American and South American approaches, as well as to cover cases and areas often excluded from this field of ​​study, such as Portuguese-speaking Africa. Each event, usually taking place on Wednesdays between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., consists of a presentation followed by a commentary and a debate open to the audience.

Organizers Guya Accornero and Tiago Carvalho accept proposals for future presentations.
