On 23rd and 24th May a Seminar will take place, within the scope of the Chair of Biblical, Jewish and Christian Studies, entitled "Envision Together the Subject of the Feminine (From a Jewish and Christian Approach)".

This seminar will be led by Prof. Tova Forti of Ben-Gurion University of Negev (Beersheba - Israel) and Prof. Luisa Almendra (CITER - Portuguese Catholic University) who will make a presentation of the Jewish and Christian perspective of the feminine in the Jewish Scriptures, opening a space for reading and dialogue on the theme with the participants.

The seminar is open to the entire academic community and to the general public interested in deepening how Judaism and Christianity read the theme of the feminine in the Jewish Scriptures (OT); and how the possibility of a diversity and complementarity of readings enriches and deepens the debate.

On 11 March, the Universidade Católica Portuguesa is hosting a special event to celebrate the life and legacy of Manuel Sérgio, Portugal's most influential sports philosopher. The philosopher who never gave up thinking about sports humanism will be honoured at a session attended by the Secretary of State for Sport, Pedro Dias, and the President of UCP, Isabel Capeloa Gil.

The session is the result of a collaborative project between the Portuguese Institute of Sport and Youth (IPDJ) and the Manuel Sérgio Chair - Sport, Ethics and Transcendence (UCP-CITER).

The event starts at 4pm and will feature a screening of the documentary ‘Manuel Sérgio: Biography and Dictionary of Ethics and Sport’, curated by the writer Gonçalo M. Tavares. Afterwards, journalist Paulo Sérgio will moderate a round table bringing together Gonçalo M. Tavares (Professor, author), José Carlos Lima (Coordinator of the National Plan for Ethics in Sport) and Alfredo Teixeira (Coordinator of the Manuel Sérgio Chair). The panel discussion includes the presentation of the latest volume in the Chair's collection, entitled ‘Sport, Freedom and Democracy’, published by UCP Editora.

This will be a privileged opportunity to celebrate Manuel Sérgio's innovative vision, which has inspired athletes, coaches, politicians and researchers over the last few decades.

Free entry, subject to registration.
