• To reinforce second and third generation Goans in their efforts to keep Goan culture alive

Themes

We are not a research institution and therefore we do not wish to promote 

an academic or scientific event. What we really want is to organise an interactive 

dialogue to share our achievements, on one hand, and to encourage our children 

and grandchildren to hold the torch of "Goanity" alive in the future whatever 

that might mean in different economic, social and cultural contexts.


We are also celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the foundation 

date of Casa de Goa, the Goan Association in Portugal.

Many thanks and we look forward to hearing from you.

Prof. Dr. Narana Coissoró
President of the Board of Directors
