Portuguese Adventists report on disability-inclusion campaign marking 120 years in Portugal
An Oct. 21, 2026 report on the Portuguese Union's news site reviews the "Todos no mesmo passo" ("All in step") campaign, which included a relay that ended in Lisbon on Sept. 20.
On Oct. 21, 2026, the Portuguese Union's news service published a review by ADRA Portugal's executive director of "Todos no mesmo passo." The piece describes it as a national awareness and advocacy campaign on disability inclusion, organized to close the celebrations of 120 years of Adventism in Portugal. According to the report, the campaign had four parts: a photo contest, workshops, a collective "artistic petition," and the "Estafeta das Possibilidades" relay with activities in Porto, Vila Nova de Gaia, Faro and Lisbon. ADRA Portugal reported on Sept. 24 that the relay ended in Lisbon on Sept. 20 with a walk held with Lisbon's cerebral palsy association and an exhibition of the photo-contest finalists. The union report puts participation at about 500 people and lists support from the municipal councils of Porto, Vila Nova de Gaia and Faro and Lisbon's Areeiro parish, but these are the organizers' own figures and no outcome or impact has been independently verified.
