The inaugural issue was dedicated to “Motorcyclist Culture in Faro”, on the 19th of July, also marking the day on which the 39th edition of the International Motorbike Concentration would end (cancelled due to Covid-19).
This was followed by broadcasts on “The Potential of Ria Formosa” (26 July), “Arts and New Cultural Spaces” (2 August), “World in Faro – In conversation to understand why Faro as an option” (9th August), “Traditions of the municipality” (18th August), “The World of Dance” (25th August), “Sport – Sports and training activities in the municipality” (1st September) and ” Culture as an Opportunity – Its role in territorial development” (9 September).

In total, 56 interviews were conducted and 15 performances were included.
