ANDANÇAS 2006

   With Andanças, PédeXumbo brings to live worldwide traditional music and dances. 
For a week, people of all ages and from all over the world will have the chance of learning traditional dances in daily workshops, practicing in evening balls. Outdoor activities such as trekking, slide, or swimming may fill in the musical breaks. Children are welcome to learn at dancing workshops especially designed for them,
listen to storytellers, or else attend a number of other activities. It is the participants that make up Andanças, so participants of all ages are invited to indulge in whatever pleases them most.
   At Andanças we believe that a better World is possible, and we ask everybody to make the Andanças’ week 
   the example of what we believe could be a better world. We ask people to indulge in activities,especial the 
   ones that are new to them.
   A fair trade and local products will prove that a better world is also a more delicious one! The traditional 
   communal canteen will be set up in a tent for lunches and suppers, and we’ll give a discount to participants 
   that bring their own dishes and cutlery, as they will contribute to decrease the amount of waste produced at 
   the Festival (washing facilities will be provided).
   Also we ask the participants to bring a book to be shared at a communal library during the Festival. 
   And we invite all to look around the beautiful scenery of Andanças, to go for walks in the mountains, to meet 
   the locals.
   Unfortunately, pets are not allowed at the Festival premises.

It was Andanças that laid the way to PédeXumbo.
The first Andanças Festival was organized back in 1996, in the town of Évora, Southern Portugal.
It has since been organized at Serra da Gralheira, (Freguesia de Carvalhais, Concelho de São Pedro do Sul).
Today, PédeXumbo became an association in its full rights, non-profitable, with activities all year round, got professional support (located in Évora).
The Association main purpose is the dissemination and promotion of traditional music and dances.
As a by-product, PédeXumbo acknowledges and promotes other artistic and traditional activities, whenever possible integrated with environmental education. School children are, then, major targets of the Association. Whichever the age of the participants in PédeXumbo’s activities, the most important is that they become fully implicated in the events.
