The Regional Government of Madeira has authorized a cultural cooperation protocol with the Avesso Cultural Association, providing 15,000 euros in funding for theatrical activities.
The Regional Government Council has approved, through Resolution no. 590/2026, the signing of a cultural development and cooperation protocol with the Avesso Cultural, Sports and Recreational Association (tax ID 513.137.149).
