“Acredito muito mais num conflito entre classes sociais do que num choque de civilizações, uma ideia que acentua as divisões e alimenta a violência entre os povos. O problema não é a religião nem a civilização. O problema é a desigualdade, a injustiça e a falta de dignidade. É ridículo pensar que não podemos viver juntos”, afirma a escritora franco-marroquina Leïla Slimani, autora do ensaio “Assalto à Fronteira”, uma reflexão sobre língua, identidade e pertença. “A língua pura não existe e essa é precisamente a sua beleza. A língua é talvez um dos últimos espaços abertos do mundo”, sublinha.

A aldeia de Lousal, no concelho de Grândola, recebe nos dias 30 e 31 de outubro e 1 de novembro, a 5.ª edição do Nature Weekend, um evento que reúne natureza, património, ciência, cultura e animação, com atividades gratuitas dirigidas a visitantes de todas as idades.
Ao longo dos três dias, o programa incluí caminhadas e percursos de descoberta do património arqueológico, atividades desportivas e náuticas, como stand up paddle, canoagem e wakeboard, bem como workshops de construção de papagaios e moinhos de vento.
A animação estará presente nas ruas da aldeia, com espetáculos de teatro-circo, comédia, música e performances. A programação integra ainda iniciativas de observação de morcegos e uma palestra, intitulada de “O Feitiço dos Bichos”, além de atividades temáticas de Halloween, entre as quais o Halloween Cluedo e o Baile de Halloween.
No último dia, o evento termina com a iniciativa “As Bruxas Voltam a Casa”, que contempla o lançamento de papagaios e a implantação de moinhos de vento na Corta da Mina.
Com atividades distribuídas por vários espaços da aldeia, nomeadamente o Centro Ciência Viva do Lousal, o Museu Mineiro, a Tapada, a Corta da Mina e o Salão do Lousal, o Nature Weekend pretende valorizar o património natural, mineiro e cultural do território, proporcionando experiências de descoberta, convívio e entretenimento.

It was day two of my stay-at-home PTO. This is the time off that isn't for traveling or relaxing, but — as I told my group chat — to be a housewife.
And over three days, I was productive: I decluttered a closet, replaced a broken appliance, and even enjoyed a Pilates class at 11 a.m. Not only did I accomplish goals that had gotten dusty on my to-do list, but I also noticed other positive benefits. I listened more to my children and felt more present.
As an executive, I immediately wanted to repeat this: three days at the start of every quarter to simply be a housewife.
It's just one solution for what so many millennial women and mothers are trying to figure out as they climb the corporate ladder. While some are experimenting with balance, like me, others are simply leaning out altogether.
Business Insider's Julia Pugachevsky spoke to women in corporate America who, instead of continuing to aspire to the highest rungs of their organizations, became skeptical that they'd have the flexibility needed to do it all. So, they're leaning out.
It's what Trisha Daab, who had spent 20 years in corporate leadership roles, did. She took a year off. "I had no idea how tired I was until I stopped working," she said.
During that time, Daab volunteered at a food bank, tap danced, traveled, and spent more time with her children. She eventually decided she couldn't go back to the status quo. "Stepping away helped me realize my priorities had shifted," the 47-year-old said.
Former Meta COO Sheryl Sandberg, who coined the term "Lean In" to encourage women to pursue corporate leadership even when family obligations felt like another hurdle, told Business Insider that she understands why women are leaning out.
"This is not the women who are saying, 'I don't want to do it,'" Sandberg, 57, said. "It's the women saying, 'I don't want to do it because I'm not wanted, I'm not getting the same opportunities and the same support, and I face an unfair burden at home.'"
Sandberg said it's a shame because women leaders often advocate for policies that benefit women, such as egg freezing, lactation rooms, and competitive parental leave options.
"I just hope that enough women want those senior leadership roles," she added, "that we get the environment for women that they deserve."
