Braga - European Youth Capital

Braga - European Youth Capital

The European Youth Capital is a project of the European Youth Forum which main objective is promoting intra-European co-operation between young people and to raise awareness of the contributions young people can bring to the community, through civic participation in the cultural, economic and political life of a city.

The first capital was chosen in 2009. In the last three years, the title has been awarded to Rotterdam (The Netherlands) in 2009, Torino (Italy) in 2010, and to Antwerp (Belgium) in 2011. Maribor, in Italy, will be the European Youth Capital for 2013 followed by Thessaloniki (Greece), in 2014.

Bertílio Gomes has proven that he knows what he's doing in the kitchen. That's after perfecting his talent in New York, working at the acclaimed Bica do Sapato restaurant in Lisbon, and earning the Young Chef of the Year award in 1998. His specialty is traditional Portuguese cuisine cooked with not-so-traditional ingredients found in Portugal.
Most recently, until early 2011, he was at Casa da Comida.

Guimarães - European Capital of Culture

Guimarães, tucked in a valley in the far north of Portugal and often referred to as the birthplace of the Portuguese state, has been designated a European Capital of Culture for 2012. That means that visitors this year are in for a treat: an added load of cultural activities in a very interesting corner of Portugal.

The Cultural Capital year in Guimarães called for a kick-off party, and it was held yesterday. I'll let Julie Fox tell you about it:

Fireworks? Tick. Orchestra? Tick. Massive crowds? Tick. A knight in the air? Tick. Psychedelic lights and stunning graphics projected onto buildings? Tick. Gigantic metal horse and fibreglass man puppets? Tick. What more could anyone possibly want from an opening event? An all night street party? Oh, all right then, if you insist; after all, this is the beginning of a year of culture and festivities in Guimarães.
