16th edition of the Manuel António da Mota Award

Rural Move is the big winner of the 16th edition of the Manuel António da Mota Award.
Its remarkable work in promoting repopulation and investment in low-density areas demonstrates how innovation and solidarity can transform communities and build the future.

A particularly special moment in this year’s edition was the announcement made by the President of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, who revealed the posthumous award of a Social Merit Medal to Manuel António da Mota — a tribute to the humanistic, supportive and philanthropic vision that marked his life and continues to inspire the Foundation’s mission.
We will continue to work to strengthen social impact and support those who transform Portugal every day.
