Sende (co)organize and hosts events every year.
All our events are not typical village events.

Our most popular event is Bosquexo, annual drawing festival and in 2027 we are celebrating its 14th edition. We even started Bosquexo, Portugal editions.

We were also co-organizing Bitsommar, event which gathers gaming industry professionals and amateurs. And we continued with a gaming world with Upupa event 🏕️ in our campsite in Setubal.

Our newest event is Situated cinema, where we explore the local with analog and experimental photography, video, and processes (like analog development of films with  plants).

Beside that if you visit Sende you will probably join one of the Hat talks.

Hat talk is 30 mins events in Sende. They are like Ted talk, but with a hat. Topic can be anything you find useful for others.

We even organize mini conferences, like Crab (conference which hosts creative rural hubs), or a training for the European Creative Hubs Network.

Sende also organizes International trainings on innovation, entrepreneurship, conflict-transformation, robotics… (3 to 5 per year).

In 2015 we organized one of the first Hackathons for refugees.
