From June 16 to 18, 2025, a three-day seminar was held at the Instituto Superior Politécnico de Songo (ISPS) in Songo Town, Tete Province, to test the two newly designed courses — Fundamentals of Lighting and Lighting Technology. The seminar brought together more than 60 participants, including students and lecturers from Universidade Rovuma, teachers from ISPS, ISPT, Instituto Médio Dom Bosco, Instituto Industrial de Matundo, as well as representatives from public institutions and other organizations working in the energy sector, such as HCB and FUNAE. Professors from Aalto University, Hellenic Open University, and ISPS delivered lectures covering modules from both courses.
Topics covered ranged from photometry, light source technologies, and lighting design principles to energy efficiency, sustainability, and modern teaching strategies for lighting education. The program also included practical training sessions, featuring hands-on demonstrations using a smart lighting kit and lighting simulations with Relux software. To support continuous improvement, participants were invited to complete a feedback questionnaire to help refine the course content and teaching methodology.
