The identity base of Ourém and the cosmopolitan spirit of the 4th Count of Ourém, Dom Afonso, serve as the premise for the September Festival, which will invade the medieval village of Ourém between the 8th and 10th of September. The Emigration Observatory is taking part in the September Festival with the seminar 'Trajectories of Portuguese emigration', which will address the current panorama of Portuguese emigration.

Yesterday the Emigration Report 2019, carried out by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, DGACCP, the Camões Institute and the Emigration Observatory was made public. This report includes the most recent information concerning the number of citizens leaving the country, the countries of destination of Portuguese emigrants, the socio-economic, namely school and academic, and geographical characterisation of Portuguese emigrants, the identification and characterisation of the structures and consular responses to support emigrants in each of the destination countries, the identification and characterisation of formal and informal structures to support emigrants in each destination country, as well as the labour, social and economic situation of Portuguese emigrants. +
