Journeys VIII Ensino Lusófona Training Conference

The Lusófona Teaching Pedagogical Training Days bring together a set of programs designed to offer diversity, usefulness, and to meet the needs for updating and personal, professional, and pedagogical development of our teaching 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 January 26 to 30, 2026. Considering the need to promote initiatives that contribute to the personal development and career progression of faculty members of the Lusófona University staff, each faculty member is requested to participate in at least one of the available sessions, without prejudice to participating in a higher number of training sessions.
