Camões, I.P. and Lidel sign protocol to support the teaching and promotion of the Portuguese language On 18 February 2026, at the headquarters of Camões - Instituto da Cooperação e da Língua, I.P., in Lisbon, a Protocol was signed between Camões – Instituto da Cooperação e da Língua I.P., and Lidel – Edições Técnicas, Lda. which aims to support the teaching and promotion of the Portuguese language. The cooperation agreement was signed by the Chair of the Board of Directors of Camões, I.P., Ambassador Florbela Paraíba, and the Executive Director of Lidel, Lda., Dr Rita Annes. The funding agreed in the Protocol, which is part of the Portuguese Language Promotion Company programme - an initiative that currently brings together 13 companies, with Lidel – Edições Técnicas among the first companies to join – will last for two years and establishes this publisher's support for the creation/updating of libraries in any country where Camões, I.P. Chairs, Portuguese Language Centres and Lectureships exist or are to be created, and for the promotion of teacher training activities. Under this partnership, around 1,300 titles have already been purchased to equip more than 25 Portuguese Language Centres in various countries. Through this programme, Lidel, Edições Técnicas, Lda also supported training initiatives for primary, secondary and higher education teachers in several countries, including South Africa, Namibia, Eswatini, Zimbabwe and Botswana. With the renewal of this Protocol, it will be possible to reach more students from various geographical areas in the coming years, with the aim of strengthening the strategy for the internationalisation of the Portuguese language and culture. ‘We have been delighted to support this programme since its inception. As a publisher specialising in PFL for 37 years, it is our mission to contribute to the promotion and appreciation of the Portuguese language by producing quality materials designed for learners around the world.’ Rita Annes |
