Do students at Lusófona University really know the history of Portugal?

Portugal Day

Portugal, the westernmost country in Europe, independent since…

since when exactly?

To celebrate Portugal Day, Camões, and the Portuguese Communities, Lusófona University left the classroom and went out to meet the people who bring life to our campus. We challenged our students with questions that test their historical knowledge of this “garden by the sea, planted at the edge of Europe”.

Do Lusófona University students know how many countries in the world have Portuguese as an official language? Or what the global network of Portuguese communities is called?

In this video, we capture the answers and some surprising reactions.

And you? Can you answer these questions about Portugal?
