Alberto Pires

I was born in France but returned to Portugal when I was a child, later I started working as a mechanic and later as an assembly line technician.

At 40 years of age, I am an entrepreneur, specifically owner of the Grow Shop Planeta Sensi, and since 2017 I have been dedicated to the organization of Cannadouro, International Hemp Fair of Porto.
João Carvalho
Event Director
I was born in 1977 in the heart of the city of Porto and I graduated in History, Archeology by the the University of Porto.
In 2003 I co-authored the "Brief History of Cannabis in Portugal", as an appendix to the 2nd edition of Jack Herer's "Emperos wears no clothes", from the publishing company Via Optima, which remains the only text dealing with the portuguese secular and historical relationship with hemp.
In 2008 and 2009 I was the organizer and spokesperson of the Global Marijuana. March of Porto.
More recently I have been present in various political initiatives in favor of the total legalization of cannabis and I am one of the co-organizers of Cannadouro, International Fair of Hemp of Porto, where it is intended to promote, to make known and to stimulate all uses of this plant.
Marco Raposo
Public Relations
I was born in Gaia in 1981, I graduated in Economics from the University of Porto and from Ege university in Turkey. I had jobs in different areas and countries: India, Turkey, Tunisia and Portugal. From the Portuguese embassy, local government, SMEs, micro enterprises and start ups. I founded the Movimento Terra Solta Association. At the moment I am consultant and work in projects that integrate the social and environmental components, based on the circular economy. I use and investigate the use of cannabis, in its various purposes: gastronomic, medicinal, spiritual, textile and insulation.
Marco Valente
Multimedia Coordinator
Born in 1989, I am a native of Torre de Moncorvo, Trás-os-Montes. Graduated in Commercial Management and Marketing Techniques from Instituto Superior Ciências Empresariais e Turismo (ISCET), I deepened my knowledge in the area of Multimedia over the years and with these tools I develop much of my work. At present, I am a freelancer of photography, video and digital marketing.
From marketing management and advertising to production and organization events, there were several my jobs, during and after my academic training.
I take a strong interest in the fields of organic farming, mushroom production, sustainability and, for all the thousands of potentialities of the Cannabis plant, in my opinion, the greatest renewable resource on our planet!
Marta Sampaio
Marketing and Communication
I was born in Porto in 1987. I graduated in Portuguese and Lusophone Studies from the University of Minho in 2008.
In the same University I did two Post-graduations, one in Cultural Studies and another in Theory of Literature, in the Cinema Branch.
In 2011 I joined the team of MEDIAsounds, a company dedicated to communication and cultural production, a project that I continue to embrace these days. I like to travel because it allows me direct contact and study of different cultures.
I am an activist in relation to Hemp due to the diverse potentialities of the plant that despite having a direct cultural relationship with Portuguese history was manipulated worldwide by large corporations. It is a kind of damn plant, allocated to various stigmas based on disinformation precisely because of the multidisciplinary potential of uses of this natural resource for medicinal and industrial purposes, far beyond the controversial recreational use.
Hugo Amadeu Santos
Design + WebDesign
Born the 4th of September of 1974, Hugo went through the Portuguese revolution in the warmth and confort of the womb. Years later, after graduating in Communication Design he freelanced his way to the business world. He believes graphic design is a great tool both for education and inspiration, so from the start he always tried to gravitate towards social and ecological causes, companies or events. He has developed work for environmental causes, movie documentaries, book covers, and more.

He always prefers to remain as anonymous as possible.
Eddy
CannaSkate Coordinator
My name is Eduardo, I was born in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1983 and I have been skating since the 1990s under the influence of the movie "Kids".
In 2010 I opened a small shop in the city of Maia called Clandestina, a brand that until today is active and progressing. In 2014 I founded the North Skate Association which held several events in the city of Porto and created the first space covered for the practice of the modality. Cannabis has played a key role during these years. Besides being a creative stimulus for the design of our products, it has also served as a relaxing and treatment for various types of pain.
Nowadays, medical cannabis companies have been betting progressively on professional skaters precisely because of the positive and curative effects they have been presenting, attracting interest from other practitioners.
