Kova M Festival is a cultural initiative that promotes dynamics of social and community development within Alto Cova da Moura community and surroundings, thus fighting the stigma that is ravaging the neighborhood. It also develops and promotes the neighborhood’s cultural and human heritage, as well as its rich ethnic mix, hence contributing to the integration into the community where it belongs

Culture has always been a factor of social and economic development, as well as of integration and identity affirmation - a bridge that connects different generations and different backgrounds.
