The identity base of Ourém and the cosmopolitan spirit of the 4th Count of Ourém, Dom Afonso, serve as the premise for the September Festival, which will invade the medieval village of Ourém between the 8th and 10th of September. The Emigration Observatory is taking part in the September Festival with the seminar 'Trajectories of Portuguese emigration', which will address the current panorama of Portuguese emigration.
