CPF Sesc, NIC.br/Cetic.br and PUC-SP promote Dialogue Cycle on culture, education, and technology
The first meeting will be held on September 25
The Research and Training Center of SESC São Paulo (CPF Sesc), the Regional Center for Studies on the Development of the Information Society (Cetic.br) of the Brazilian Network Information Center (NIC.br) and the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo (PUC-SP), will inaugurate on September 25, the Dialogue Cycle “Culture, education and technologies in debate”, which aims to discuss the current cultural, educational, and ICT appropriation scenario in Brazil. The first of three meetings will discuss the theme “Digital Culture: where are we and where are we going?”. Registrations can be made on the CPF Sesc page or at Sesc units.
The proposal of the cycle is to debate strategic aspects at the interface between culture, education, and technologies, in order to guide the creation and circulation of knowledge from a perspective aligned with democracy, freedom, and social equity. Based on data produced by Cetic.br, the scenario of ICT adoption in Brazil will be analyzed with an emphasis on the inequalities in this appropriation, their motivations, and possible solutions, considering the development of cultural and educational public policies.
The first activity will discuss the broader scenario of digital inclusion in the country, taking into account the inequalities in Internet access and their impacts on the production and consumption of cultural goods and content online. From the presentation of indicators by Cetic.br that illustrate how Brazilians of all ages and economic classes relate to information and communication technologies, the meeting will reflect on the opportunities and risks of a connected world.
The meeting, which will be held at the CPF Sesc headquarters from 10 am to 1 pm, will be mediated by Alexandre Barbosa, manager of Cetic.br, and will feature speakers Lúcia Santaella, full professor at PUC-SP, and Sérgio Amadeu, associate professor at the Federal University of ABC and Counselor of the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee (CGI.br). “Digital culture creates new forms of communication and reconfigures socio-cultural dynamics. Therefore, the discussion of topics like this, which affect the production and access to knowledge, is necessary,” comments Barbosa.
The other two activities of the cycle will be held on October 23 and November 13, discussing the themes: “Knowledge, skills, and curriculum in an information and knowledge society” and “Educational and cultural public policies: trajectories and perspectives”, respectively.
