Unveiling the Literary Universe: International Fair of Portuguese Language Literature in London (FLILP)

FLILP: Uniting Communities Through Art and Literature

Prepare for a literary celebration in the heart of London, commemorating a major milestone for the Portuguese-speaking community in the UK and beyond.

UK Student Solutions Ltd. is proud to support the first-ever Portuguese Language International Literary Fair (FLILP) on 31 May 2024.

This groundbreaking event will unite writers and readers from Brazil, Portugal, Angola, and other Portuguese-speaking countries living abroad. This will be a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the cultural and linguistic richness that defines the Portuguese-speaking literary universe. In at least 10 countries, Portuguese is an official language, and there is a significant population of Portuguese speakers in the UK.

The significance of this festival extends across cultures and regions, fostering literary diversity and facilitating conversations between Portuguese-speaking writers and readers on a global scale.

FLILP will provide a critical space for connection, inspiration and mutual learning, playing a role in uniting Portuguese-speaking communities through art and literature. By highlighting diverse works and talents and writers, the event enhances understanding and appreciation of the cultural and linguistic nuances that enrich the lusophone world, as well as offering a platform for the exchange of ideas and experiences, strengthening ties between Portuguese speakers globally.

At the core of UK Student Solutions’ support for FLILP is a commitment to education and professional development, especially supporting Portuguese-speaking students seeking training abroad.

Our involvement showcases our dedication to promoting access to excellent education and strengthening the bond between education, literature, and the culture of Portuguese-speaking countries. It also underscores the global significance of each student and writer.

Addressing the journey of becoming a writer, we recognise that writing is an art that requires dedication, technique, and passion. It is also important to recognise the role of training and continuous development. Just as a sculptor moulds clay or a painter on his canvas, the writer sculpts worlds with words.

Writing, an art form that can be perfected with practice and proper guidance, is not just a hobby or a pastime – it is a respected and valued profession in many fields. From the fields of advertising, journalism and corporate communications to the entertainment industry and beyond, writing skills are in high demand and can open doors to unlimited opportunities. With the right support and proper training, the dream of making a living from writing becomes an achievable goal.

The UK, known for its rich literary tradition, a vibrant community of writers and centres of excellence in literary studies, presents itself as an ideal location for such training. At renowned institutions, students can immerse themselves in Creative Writing courses taught by experienced and talented professionals, such as the world-renowned writer Bernardine Evaristo (pictured), a lecturer on the Creative Writing degree course at Brunel University in London.
