The SAfA 2025 theme, “Crossroads through Time,” highlights the Algarve region of southern Portugal as a nexus of different cultures from across North Africa, Europe, and around the world, each of which have contributed to the region’s history, language, and culture over millennia. This theme underscores both the positive outcomes and challenges of living in multicultural societies—a topic of increasing importance today amid global issues that are displacing millions of people worldwide via climate change, economic hardships, and conflict.
