Cooperation across the Lusophone World

Health, Education & Sustainable Development

Brazil, Portugal, and the six countries of Lusophone Africa - Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, Equatorial Guinea, Cabo Verde and São Tomé and Príncipe - share a common language. This link - the product of a complex transatlantic history - is celebrated on 5 May each year during the International Day of Portuguese Language and Culture.

To mark the day this year, Canning House examines present-day cooperative ties across the Lusophone world in healthcare, education and sustainable development - where they exist, what they have achieved, and how they could go further. To discuss, we welcome a panel of experts on the Lusophone world's past, present and future.
