As an Angolan student, I would love to create a space where Portuguese-speaking students can connect through a shared language while celebrating the different cultures and experiences we bring. Moving to university can feel lonely, especially when you are far from home, and having a community where you feel understood can make a real difference.

The society would give students opportunities to make friends, practise Portuguese, share their culture and develop leadership and event-organising skills. I also want it to help new students feel welcome in Leeds and give the wider university community a chance to discover the food, music and traditions of Portuguese-speaking countries.
