Cetic.br Promotes Launch of TIC Cultura 2018

Survey will be presented on 4/23 in the Cycle "Culture, Education and Technologies in Debate", a partnership with Sesc São Paulo and PUC-SP

The publication of the TIC Cultura 2018 survey and the presentation of unpublished data will take place on April 23 (Tuesday) during the 2nd edition of the Cycle "Culture, Education, and Technologies in Debate," an activity conducted by the Regional Center of Studies for the Development of the Information Society (Cetic.br) of the Brazilian Network Information Center (NIC.br) in partnership with Sesc São Paulo and the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo (PUC-SP).

The survey by the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee (CGI.br) conducted by Cetic.br/NIC.br highlights, among other things, that Brazilian cultural institutions use the Internet mainly for promoting their activities and cultural programs, more than for disseminating online content. Offering real-time video streaming, distance learning, or making digitized collections available on the Internet is uncommon among all types of institutions surveyed.

Renowned specialists will be gathered at this first meeting of the year, which will also feature a debate panel and a conference by an international guest, marking the launch of the publication "Culture, Education, and Technologies in Debate," which resulted from the first cycle held in 2018. The material organizes some reflections by the speakers about the appropriation of ICTs in Brazil, considering the development of cultural and educational policies. The activity will take place at Sesc 24 de Maio, starting at 2 PM. Registrations can be made on the Sesc São Paulo page or at Sesc units.

The Cycle organized by Cetic.br/NIC.br, CPF Sesc, and PUC-SP reaches its second edition with the goal of expanding discussion on strategic aspects at the interface between culture, education, and technologies. "The data from TIC Cultura allow understanding the scenario of infrastructure, use, and management of ICT in archives, cultural heritage, libraries, cinemas, museums, cultural points, and theaters. These are important inputs for public managers, academic researchers, private sector companies, and civil society organizations in their initiatives aimed at building the information and knowledge society," highlights Alexandre Barbosa, manager of Cetic.br.

Debate Panel and Conference

The first activity of the year of the Dialogues Cycle will start with the debate "Culture, Education, and Technology in 21st Century Citizenship." Danilo Santos de Miranda (regional director of Sesc São Paulo), Demi Getschko (director-president of NIC.br), Maria Amalia Pie Abib Andery (rector of PUC-SP), and Adriana Couto (journalist and presenter of the program Metropolis, TV Cultura) will discuss, from a citizen perspective, the opportunities and risks of a connected world.

The event’s program also includes the conference "The New Consumer Society: Are We Happier?," given by French philosopher and theorist of hypermodernity, Gilles Lipovetsky. With mediation by journalist Bianca Santana, Lipovetsky will address the challenges of hyperconsumption present in a society with many options to choose from. According to the philosopher, it is not the consumption itself that should be denounced, but its excesses, the "misuse."

Upcoming Meetings

The next activities of the Cycle "Culture, Education, and Technologies in Debate" are already scheduled. Under the theme "Cultural Production and Technology," they will gather on May 9 George Yúdice (professor at the University of Miami), Eliane Costa (MBA Coordinator at Getúlio Vargas Foundation), and Mauricio Trindade (deputy manager of the Sesc São Paulo Research and Training Center - CPF-Sesc); the theme "Diversity and Technology" will be discussed on June 18 by Maria Antonieta Antonacci (professor at PUC-SP), Rafael Evangelista (professor at Unicamp), and Fernando Almeida (professor at PUC-SP).
