The first, at the invitation of Christian Muleka Mwewa, Professor at the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS), was a round table entitled “Cultural Education from the Perspective of Anthropology”, as part of the 4th International EduForP – Cultures and Pedagogical Practices. The other participants were Alexis Angola (Universidad de la Guajira, Colombia) and José Maria Vallina (Universidad Nacional del Comahue – UNCOMA, Argentina), with Aline Claudino (Unisul, Brazil) as moderator. Held on 28 and 29 August 2026, the event was jointly organised by the State University of Mato Grosso do Sul, the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul, the Postgraduate Programme in Education/CPTL, the Pedagogy Degree Programme/CPTL and the Research Group on Education and Culture in Contemporary Society – EDUFORP.
At the second event, at the invitation of Alex Sander da Silva, Professor at the University of Southern Santa Catarina (UNESC), Patrícia Ferraz de Matos delivered a lecture entitled “‘Deconstructing colonialism, decolonising the imagination’: reflections on an exhibition at the National Museum of Ethnology in Lisbon, 2024–2026” as part of the Thematic Panel “Education, Anthropology and Decolonial Thought” at the 9th Philosophy and Society Seminar, entitled “Critical and Decolonial Thought: Circulations and Crossings”, and the 3rd Interinstitutional and International Education Conference, organised by the University of Southern Santa Catarina (UNESC). The event took place on 24 September.
Both events fostered the establishment of important institutional relationships, helping to consolidate exchanges and pave the way for future research, pedagogical and training projects between Portugal and Brazil.
