The objective of this research is to investigate how the Educator Meeting Room Project in a public high school in the city of Várzea Grande, Mato Grosso, in 2013, was understood, implemented and experienced by five teachers of the area of languages to attend their personal and professional interests but also the interests of their students and their school. The qualitative ethnographic study has two guiding questions: What do the language teachers do when they meet in the Educator Meeting Room? How do the teachers interpret the events in which they engage? The main instruments used to record the data were participant observation, a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews with participants of the study. In addition, data related to the discussions of texts by the teachers were recorded and transcribed. In the analysis, based on the research questions first, the study reports the events in which the teachers participated when they met in the Educator Meeting Room were reported; next, it presents and analyzes the data, which indicate the meanings attributed by the actors to the events in which they engaged. Through analysis, the multiple voices of the five language teachers could be highlighted and related to important aspects for the development of the Educator Meeting Room in the future. Among the happenings, diverse barriers appeared bringing opportunities for collective decisions and involvement of participants. Though many were not resolved, they were part of reflections and projections for future improvements. This study brings, in the first place, contributions for the understanding that Educator Meeting Room Project constitutes a space for continuing education and as such can and should constitute a space of reflection, construction and deconstruction of ideas that enable organizing pedagogical practice of teachers in function of the local necessities of their students and school, not as an isolated, individual act but as an collective and collaborative action.
