In the first edition of Encontros Com Impacto, a series of talks on major issues of the present and future, we're going to talk about "Cities of the Future". The event will take place on the 21st at Casa do Impacto.
On April 21, starting at 6 p.m., join us for a conversation on "Cities of the Future", which will take place at Casa do Impacto in Lisbon. The panel will include Rosa Félix, researcher in active mobility, Mário Alves, a consultant in the field of urban mobility, and Bruna Pizzolan expert in mobility and interested in inequalities related to transport. The session will be preceded by an exclusive video interview with Carlos Morenoauthor of the "15-minute city" concept.
The talk on "Cities of the Future" is part of a cycle that Shifter and Casa do Impacto, of Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa (SCML), are co-organizing throughout this year. O Encounters With Impact will be a series of conversations on major issues of the present and future. During the year 2022At the Casa do Impacto, it will be possible to attend six events divided into two cycles: the first on themes of the future and the second on the present. The aim of the partnership between Shifter and Casa do Impacto is to address complex issues in a close, simple and inclusive way, bringing together personalities from the areas under discussion to think about the proposed topics. All the conversations can be heard in podcast format at a later date.

Re-launched in 2020, the Shifter is a community magazine that appeals to the mind, connecting themes of society, culture and technologyThe project, which is part of SCML's entrepreneurship hub, promotes the development of critical discourse on current issues of interest to Casa do Impacto's community of changemakers.
"This cycle of exploratory talks is as much a moment to bring the community together as it is learning for everyone - learning more about the challenges of the job can help incubated startups solve problems and come up with solutions that haven't yet been implemented, for example. The desire to bring these meetings together is to address urgent social and environmental problems and enable the creation of positive impact from the Casa do Impacto."explains Inês Sequeira, director of Casa do Impacto.
To João Gabriel Ribeiro, editor of Shifter, "It's a unique opportunity for us to create unique moments in a space as accessible and open as Casa do Impacto, which end up being the culmination of many years of work on the big issues of the moment. It's a way of not only making the reflections that concern us reach more people, but also of humanizing and socializing these issues, getting to know each other and better understanding the desires and needs of those involved."
