GROUP OF SCHOOLS PADRE BARTOLOMEU DE GUSMÃO

The place where the Josefa de Óbidos School is located was, in the 1940s, an open land, limited to the south by Rua Possidónio da Silva and to the east by a state building that housed child care in the parish of Santa Isabel. The choice of patron has to do with the personality of Josefa de Ayala – woman, artist, painter, religious and humanist. After the 25th of April, the former Josefa de Óbidos Industrial and Commercial School was then renamed Josefa de Óbidos Secondary School, teaching the 3rd cycle of Basic and Secondary Education. Today it is the headquarters of the Padre Bartolomeu de Gusmão School Group with students from Pre-School to Secondary.
The Basic School of the 1st Cycle with Kindergarten Engenheiro Ressano Garcia was founded in 1911, shortly after the implementation of the Republic, being therefore one of the oldest schools in activity in Lisbon. Currently, like all official schools, the School covers all children in its area of ​​influence, which encompasses four parishes: Santo Condestável, Prazeres, Santa Isabel and Lapa.

It is the only national member of ENSCONET-The European Native Seed Conservation Network, a European consortium that brings together 30 seed banks of native species.

RESEED PROJECT

The project that takes place at the University of Coimbra, led by historian Dulce Freire, is funded by the European Research Council. ReSEED aims to analyze the transformations in agriculture historically associated with cultivated seeds, the environment and human action since the 18th century. The study will contribute to understanding the socio-economic and ecological impacts of the spread in Europe of food products from the new worlds. The research focuses on the Iberian Peninsula, which was the gateway for many of these seeds to the old continent. The main objectives are to build a historical geography of local seeds grown in Portugal and Spain; mapping the social and institutional networks that allowed the circulation of old and new seeds; and identify innovations related to changes in regional agriculture.
