About
The MobileWorlds Festival aims to think outside the box, challenge old ideas, and imagine new ways of moving, connecting, and living together. It draws inspiration from third cultures—the rich and complex experiences of people shaped by migration, travel, and globalization. Through a blend of art, discussion, and creative workshops, MobileWorlds invites participants to reflect, share, and rethink how mobility is intertwined with identity, relationships, and the world around us. The Institute of Sociology of the University of Porto and the project “PeriCreativity” (DOI: 10.54499/2022.08993.PTDC) are partners in this event through the collaboration of Beatriz Lacerda.
