On 27 October 2018, two sessions were held at the IIM, in articulation with the Youth Macanese Encontro. The first session was the launch of a video documentary "Macaenses: an Odyssey (part one)", about the Macanese diaspora based on interviews done in North America. The second session was an informal meeting with the former Governor of Macau (1974-1979) General José Eduardo Garcia Leandro who presented the topic "Macau and the future of the Portuguese community in the MSAR". These sessions were a collaboration with the Macanese Youth Association (AJM), the support of the Macao Foundation and the young participation who came from different Casas de Macau around the world.
