Is the word organizou the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The word "organizou" is identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese regarding spelling, meaning, and grammatical function (it is the third-person singular of the verb organizar in the pretérito perfeito do indicativo). The only difference is the pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels tend to be more "open" and clearly articulated. In Continental Portuguese, unstressed vowels are often more "closed" or reduced, meaning the "o" in the first syllable may sound more neutral or muffled compared to the Brazilian pronunciation.
