Abstract	East Timor has reached independence in 2002, after two periods of colonialism and after severe violence, especially following 1999. As a result, the country was almost destroyed, and lost its qualified workforce in all sectors, including education. To ensure national independence it is necessary to reconstruct and build the basic infrastructures for all sectors, and mainly, prepare a technical and professional elite expected to ensure the autonomy of the society and the sovereignty of the state. In this context, education plays a key role. Thus, the Timorese Government has supported several approaches to empower national education, mainly through teacher education. Due to the lack of qualified teacher trainers, East Timor has resorted to the support of teachers from Portuguese-speaking countries, such as Portugal. In this paper we describe and discuss how a module of a bachelor's course carried out in East Timor was designed and implemented by Portuguese teachers. Furthermore, we reflect upon the singularities of such an experience, highlighting the challenges and the obstacles found by the trainers and the trainees.
