Winners' messages
"Estou muito feliz e me sentindo honrado em receber um galardão da Fundação Eurasia - Asian and European -Lusophone Civilization. Será de suma importância para a minha trajetória académica-profissional no domínio do património cultural. Este prémio ainda traduz o reconhecimento do trabalho sobre a forte ligação da Ásia na diáspora portuguesa e suas influências na história da Bahia". Espero que este diálogo intercivilizacional possa, de alguma maneira, despertar o interesse dos amigos asiáticos para ajudar-me na luta pela preservação da história e memória da Gamboa de Baixo e melhor inclusão daquelas comunidades representativas no processo de desenvolvimento turístico da Amazónia Azul - BTS."
