The discussion focused on the theme "What Can Be Done: Claims and Public Policies," bringing together experts and activists to address the importance of collecting ethnic-racial data as a tool for social and political transformation.
The initiative is part of the project "AGRRIN - Generative Bodies: From Aggression to Insurgency. Contributions to a Decolonial Pedagogy" (Project Ref. 2022.06269.PTDC), developed with the support of CeiED, the Department of Museology at Universidade Lusófona, and the UNESCO Chair "Education, Citizenship, and Cultural Diversity."

- The role of ethnic-racial data in strengthening effective public policies.
- Priority claims of civil society regarding this issue.

Importance of a Decolonial Perspective
Highlighting the urgency of adopting a critical and decolonial perspective to address structural racism, the event emphasized the need to design public policies that are more inclusive and responsive to Portugal's social realities.
