The first edition of "À Moda do Porto" marks the 30th anniversary of the classification of Porto’s Historic Centre, the Luiz I Bridge and the Monastery of Serra do Pilar as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as well as the 25th anniversary of Porto 2001 – European Capital of Culture. The event will take place on 10 and 11 December 2026 at the Faculty of Education of the Technical University of Porto and will be livestreamed on the YouTube channel of inED – Centre for Research and Innovation in Education, based at the Faculty of Education of the Technical University of Porto.

The event aims to celebrate, explore and reflect on the city through its various heritage dimensions, with a particular focus on the community, architecture, urban planning and gastronomy.

What impact have the 30 years since UNESCO's classification and the 25th anniversary of the European Capital of Culture had on the city, its collective memory and its heritage? How can we reconcile tradition with contemporary life?
