Our story

Born from a
passion for learning


Casa da Educação was founded in 2012 in Lisbon with a single conviction: that Europe becomes stronger when its teachers and students learn together, across borders, in places that inspire them.

What started as a small operation welcoming the first groups of European teachers to Lisbon has grown, over 12 years, into one of Portugal's most trusted Erasmus+ mobility providers DGERT certified, KA1 accredited, and trusted by partner schools across 8 European countries.

"Inspired teachers create transformed students. Everything we do is built on that belief."

We are not a large Training Center. We are a dedicated team based in Areeiro, Lisbon people who genuinely love education, who know every partner school by name, and who measure success by the transformation we see in the people who pass through our doors.
