Established in October 2023, the António Pargana Foundation aims to contribute to strengthening ties between Portugal and the diaspora, particularly among students with hereditary or emotional ties to the country.
All these questions are answered based on the fundamental idea that led to the creation of the António Pargana Foundation: to promote Portuguese culture and its relationship with people of Portuguese descent.
The main objective of its work is to strengthen the connection between Portugal and the diaspora through greater mutual understanding. As the direct beneficiaries of the AP Foundation’s work, people of Portuguese descent and Portuguese speakers will have the opportunity to forge unique links with contemporary Portugal through programmes offered by the FAP’s partner universities.
These programmes, organised with the support of public and private institutions, companies and other entities wishing to be associated with this mission, should constitute an added value for the young people who attend them and who, through direct contact with the business community, cultural, political and other institutions, create or strengthen their connection with Portugal.
The incorporation of talent from Diaspora countries into Portuguese companies is also part of the range of activities to be developed by the Foundation.
