OP.edu participated in the Meeting The thought of Amílcar Cabral and Education, which took place on 25 May, the date that marks the Africa Day, established by the United Nations in 1972.

Ângela Benoliel Coutinho (Researcher at IPRI – Portuguese Institute of International Relations), Julião Soares Sousa (Researcher at CEIS20 – Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies) and Fernanda Marques (former Minister of Higher Education, Science and Culture of Cape Verde and former Minister of Education and Sports of Cape Verde), shared the results of their research and reflections on the work of Amílcar Cabral, for whom Education was a determining factor in the process of development and social transformation of the material living conditions of societies.

The Meeting was attended, among others, by doctoral students in Education and Sociomuseology, as well as teachers, researchers and students of the  Licentiate Degree in Education Sciences – Social Education of the Lusófona University – University Centre of Lisbon.

It was a first approach on the thought of Amílcar Cabral to Education, which will continue from October 2023, with other dissemination and training initiatives that will count, in the tasks of organisation and public communication, with the participation of OP.Edu.
