The Purpose Generation

Becoming the changemakers of tomorrow.​

In an always changing world, are the solutions we’re living with, still up to date with the issues that the world is facing nowadays? Do we understand the role we need to play? Or do we truly believe everything will be ok, just because? The time has come. Stop sitting in the back seat and start taking action! You are the future: take the wheel and lead the way. Come and become The Purpose Generation and change our future for better, for good, for all.

About the Municipality of Cascais

Privileged located on the Atlantic Coast, Cascais has been on the spotlight as an exclusive tourist destination, but also for hosting several international conferences and events.

Historically, Cascais was the famous refuge for the European aristocracy and elite. From kings to diplomats, filmmakers and cinema artists, to writers, businessmen and bankers, they all arrived attracted by its safe environment (endured by Portugal’s neutrality in conflict), mild climate, clear waters, luxury hotels, and the Estoril Casino – where Ian Fleming’s was inspired to film the first James Bond novel «Casino Royale».

Times changed, yet the charm, glamour and essence still remain. Among the «2014 Sustainable Destinations Global Top 100» and awarded in 2014 with the «Climate Star Award» and «Vistas – VISION Innovation for Sustainable Tourism Awards», Cascais has been focused on accomplishing diverse policies and initiatives for decarbonization and environment sustainability.

The Municipality of Cascais is proud to be the Co-Host of the Estoril Conferences.

Since 2009 Cascais has been the international stage for the past six successful editions. Several Nobel prize winners, Heads of State and high-level leaders have travel to Portugal, for an open and impactful dialogue on global challenges.

Nova School of Business and Economics is now the new host for the Estoril Conferences, aiming to engage with the younger generations to jointly find innovative and sustainable solutions for our common future.
A new home, the very same commitment with liberty, pluralism and humanism. That’s our DNA.

Be most welcome to Cascais.
