About the host city:

Angra do Heroísmo is on Terceira, one of the nine islands of the Azores archipelago that seats in the North Atlantic ocean. The fortified island, first settled in 1450, is an historic landmark for Portugal, where maritime fleets on transatlantic trade routes stopped between the 16th and 18th centuries. Angra do Heroísmo is the oldest city of the Azores and was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1983. Between the charming architecture of the ancient city and the breath-taking trails that circle the natural attractions of the volcanic island, there is a lot to explore.

Come face to face with the stories and experiences of unexpected meetings and interactions during exploration, and the lessons learned from them - from sacred journeys to predators of the deep.

JUNE 14  - SESSION 1 | ENCOUNTERS

As explorers, we must recognize and adapt to changing circumstances in order to succeed and survive.
