At SEDA College, we believe that studying English abroad is just the beginning of a transformative journey—and few stories reflect that better than Arnon Lustosa’s.
A former student of SEDA College in Dublin, Arnon is now a city councillor (vereador) in Redenção, Pará, Brazil. His trajectory is a powerful example of how international education can open doors, build global perspectives, and foster leadership that creates real impact.
Who is Arnon Lustosa?
Arnon is a qualified lawyer and specialist in real estate law, currently serving as the President of the Finance Committee and Rapporteur of the Constitution and Justice Committee in his city’s legislative chamber. A strong advocate for public dialogue, transparency, and technical excellence, Arnon focuses on key areas like education, urban development, and healthcare.
But before holding public office, Arnon took a bold step in his personal and professional development: he studied English abroad.
Studying at SEDA College: A Life-Changing Experience
In 2022 and 2023, Arnon joined SEDA College in Dublin for an intensive English course and full cultural immersion. His time at SEDA not only improved his English but also gave him an international perspective—something that continues to influence his work as a public servant.
“My experience in Ireland broadened my understanding of global citizenship and showed me how education can truly cross borders,” says Arnon.
Promoting the Globalisation of Education
Today, as a political leader, Arnon is a vocal supporter of educational exchange programmes and international cooperation. He uses his platform to encourage young people in Brazil to pursue language learning and global experiences—just like he did at SEDA.
His journey is a true testament to the power of education to transform lives and communities. By bridging cultures and promoting access to international learning, Arnon continues to champion the values that we at SEDA hold dear.
From Student to Global Citizen
Arnon’s success story shows how language learning is more than grammar and vocabulary—it’s about unlocking opportunities, building confidence, and creating global connections. Whether in law, politics, or community service, he proves that what starts at SEDA can reach far beyond Dublin.
