This article presents the profile of the Brazilian cooperators in the formation of Timor-Leste teachers. We start from a larger project under the Teacher Education Program and Portuguese Language Teaching in Timor-Leste (PQLP), managed by the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) and coordinated by the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) since 2009. In order to better understand such international cooperation we began with understandings of the production conditions of some intricacies of historic-political and sociocultural context in which it occurs. The research involves the study of documents and discourse analysis of Brazilians who worked in East Timor. In addition, we propose to explain some limits, possibilities and progresses in our trajectory as active, including the challenges in drawing some more appropriate referrals. In these analyses, the problematizations involving the coloniality of knowledge/power, the assistentialist performances, peace-building, among others, encourage reflections that can be welcome in future cooperation.

Keywords : International Cooperation; Teacher Education; East Timor.
