Synopsis

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Fundação Oriente in Goa, an institution that has been a cornerstone in promoting culture, education, and the arts for over three decades. Since its inception, the foundation has stood out for the quality of its projects, which have not only boosted the teaching of the Portuguese language in Goa but also opened doors for Goan artists and encouraged exchange between Portuguese and Indian musicians. With remarkable initiatives such as the Monte Music Festival, the Foundation has won over a diverse audience, including those who appreciate Indian and Portuguese cultures. Over the years, it has become a cultural reference point, strengthening the historical and artistic ties between Portugal and India and leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire.
