Various community and educational activities are scheduled across different regions in Portugal. In Montemor-o-Novo, the MIMOMU workshops, led by Rita Roberto, provide music and movement sessions for babies and adults. 

Montemor-o-Novo is also hosting its 22nd Soup Festival at the Pavilhão de Exposições. The event features 12 restaurants offering 40 different soups, including traditional and competitive recipes. The festival, which includes a culinary competition, was opened with remarks from Municipal President Carlos Pinto de Sá and Tourism Councilor Paula Martins.

In Vila Franca de Xira, the Hospital da Bonecada event is organized by the NOVA Medical School Students' Association. This initiative allows children aged 3 to 10 to simulate hospital check-ups on dolls and stuffed animals to reduce fear of medical environments through play.
