XV EMEP - World Meeting on Teaching Portuguese
The University of Kansas was happy to host the Encontro Mundial sobre o Ensino de Português (World Meeting on the Teaching of Portuguese) in our Lawrence campus on June 12 and 13, 2026.
This vibrant conference, organized by the AOTP (American Organization of Teachers of Portuguese), brought Portuguese faculty from across the United States, Brazil, and Portugal to our campus. It was a truly successful conference, marked by thoughtful exchange, valuable learning, and great opportunities for networking. It was inspiring to be part of such a vibrant academic community! Here are some moments!
Thank you to the KU Center for Global & International Studies, the KU Department of Spanish and Portuguese, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and KU International Affairs.
