We are formed under the ALL Ladies League Tomar Chapter, with the support of Linda’s School, a local language School and Associação de Saúde do Médio Tejo (Middle Tajo Mental Health Association).
• Our main aim, other than above mentioned guidelines, is to be as sustainable as possible and are placing much attention on all possible details towards creating a totally environmentally friendly Event, not only avoiding waste, but also creating a balanced environment filled with supportive and loving people, joyfully enhancing each other’s best potentials.

HOW AND FOR WHOM?

100 Women residing in Portugal (of Portuguese or foreign nationality, but that can communicate in Portuguese) share for 15 minutes:
• 1 Dream
• Obstacles and challenges to its realization
• How the latter were overcome
• What it is like to live the dream come true
Note 1:These can be spoken about in any order
Note 2:Though Women residing in Portugal will be given priority, if there are still vacancies to fill the 100 slots, we will also be accepting applications from Women residing overseas who can communicate in Portuguese and will inform everyone about the final layout only on the first week of March, since the deadline for registration is the 28th of February.
Delegates from any country around the world are welcome to attend, both women and men, though they cannot apply as speakers for this event, and must understand Portuguese.

Examples:
• Building a business / association / organization / project / volunteering
• Achieving a personal life aim (change of marital status, maternity, change of residence, change related to education or with a spiritual path, economic change);
• Sports aim/achievement; overcoming a challenging illness or handicap; creating something that was personally challenging

AIMS OF THE WOMEN DREAM WEAVERS EVENT
