Journeys VII Pedagogical Training Days at Ensino Lusófona
From 7 to 11 July, teachers and researchers from Universidade Lusófona meet to improve skills and professional development
Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)
The Lusófona University Teaching Skills Development Days bring together a set of programmes designed to offer diversity, relevance, and contemporary content, addressing the needs for personal, professional, and pedagogical development of our academic and research staff.
This initiative takes place annually, at the end of each academic year and during the inter-semester break. The next edition will take place from 7 to 11 July 2025.
Considering the need to promote initiatives that support personal development and career progression for permanent teaching staff at Lusófona University, each academic is required to participate in at least one of the sessions offered, while being encouraged to engage in more if possible.
