On October 13, 14 and 15, the "Afro-descendant Peoples Summit - Encounter" took place at the Casa do Brasil in Lisbon, a working meeting that took place through a partnership between the Afro-environmental Network and the Casa do Brasil in Lisbon, the AMOR Association, Mídia NINJA, GENI Platform, Batoto Yetu Portugal Association, Afrontosa, Afrolis. pt, União Negra das Artes, the Unesco Chair "Education, Citizenship and Cultural Diversity" at Universidade Lusófona, CeiED - Center for Interdisciplinary Studies in Education and Development, the Department of Museology - ULusófona, Pontão de Cultura Articula Matriz Africana and Projeto Cultura Encantada.

It was three days of intense programming that allowed us to collectively produce an in-depth analysis of Afro-descendant peoples in the world and the need to extend the International Decade for People of African Descent, proclaimed by the UN General Assembly for the period between 2015 and 2024.

As part of the program, the R&D project "Generating Bodies: from aggression to insurgency. Contributions to a decolonial pedagogy" (PTDC_FCT_2022_ AGRRIN), DOI 10.54499/2022.06269.PTDC, which is recognized and funded by FCT - Foundation for Science and Technology, in the 2022 Call for Research and Funding for all scientific areas.

Developed in the Department of Museology at Universidade Lusófona, within the scope of CeiED - Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Education and Development, the R&D project is linked to the Research and Learning Communities - ReLeCo da Memória, Cidadania & Sociomuseologia and ReLeCo Estudos Socio Artísticos para a Decolonialidade e a Sustentabilidade [ART.DS] - which are organized around the areas of specialization and interests of this research. AGRRIN is linked to the research carried out under the UNESCO Chair "Education, Citizenship and Cultural Diversity".

The Summit of People of African Descent, held in Lisbon, was attended by Portuguese-speaking countries with representatives from three continents - Africa, America and Europe - in a dialogical action that generated a letter that will be sent to the UN, the governments of Brazil, Portugal and Mozambique and other signatory countries of the International Decade of People of African Descent.

The next meeting of this working group, which began in Lisbon, will take place in Mozambique.
