On 20-21 March the ICC will carry out an expert visit to Oeiras (Portugal), one of the most recent ICC members.

A representative of the Council of Europe, an independent expert and the coordinator of the Portuguese Network of Intercultural Cities (RPCI) will meet the Mayor and other city officials, as well as a wide range of local stakeholders in order to make an in-depth "diagnosis" of the city's needs in relation to intercultural policies and governance.

The programme of the visit also includes a presentation of the Intercultural city concept to representatives of public authorities and civil society, and visits to schools, community centres, and business centres. The visit will further result in a report that will draw the “intercultural profile” of the city and which will be the basis of subsequent work.
