The Dite Project - Diverse Internationalisation of Teacher Education is an international project funded by the European Commission that aims to promote the integration of the internationalisation dimension in initial teacher training, considering the need to prepare future teachers for the challenges of globalisation and the growing cultural diversity that characterise school education today.

In Portugal, the project involves four faculties at the University of Porto: the Faculty of Sciences, the Faculty of Sport, the Faculty of Letters and the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences.

The seminar aims to present the project results and provide an opportunity for debate on initial teacher training, with a particular focus on the issue of internationalisation "at home".

Admission is free, but prior registration is required.
