Known by the locals as “Histórias do Posto Agrário”, the project will reveal, in the coming months, seven lives that blend with the space, intending to “make known the grandeur of the space, as well as its importance for the local community, rescuing for future memory a part of an existence that is already 95 years old».
A part of the human history of the Tavira Agricultural Experimentation Center (CEAT) will be revealed “through some testimonies of those who worked there and knew it at the height of their activity”. The compilation of seven stories/testimonies is being made by the Citizens movement by CEAT and Urban Gardens and will be made known through videos broadcast on various social networks.
This first edition will feature the testimonies of professor Ana Vera Cardoso, former trainer of the Employment and Professional Training Institute (IEFP) at CEAT, and historian and writer Ofir Renato Chagas, former administrative employee of the Estação Agrária de Tavira.
The “Citizens' Movement for CEAT and Urban Gardens” seeks to “appeal for a broad reflection on the revitalization of this space, continuing the work it has been carrying out over the months,” he explains in a note sent to the newsrooms.
In June 2020, the movement introduced a proposal to make the “Posto Agrário” an active zone in Tavira and for the people of Tavira. Currently, the implementation of 50 plots of urban gardens for beneficiaries of five social neighborhoods in the city is underway. .
The citizens of this Movement “would also like to join one of the working groups provided for in the regulations of the Competence Center for the Mediterranean Diet, dealing with the theme “Mediterranean Diet” and revitalization of the CEAT”, he concludes.
