Submission Guidelines

The purpose of Congress is to promote discussion and reflection on the problems of Humanism and Global Citizenship.  Congress focuses on the challenges, opportunities, and threats of today. It discusses the issues of (re)construction of full citizenship in the context of today's society's problems.

The II Congress will address several expressions of Citizenship and Humanism, focusing on Human Rights in the most diverse thematic areas: education, political science, religion, sport, social and community intervention, social service, among others.

Its drive is to offer the exchange of studies, investigations and reflections on issues present today, enabling learning and mutual collaboration and discussing the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in different spheres.

Through studies and research works, the discussion and reflection on its subjects is an opportunity to produce, disseminate, and transfer scientific knowledge that may help to face new challenges and threats.

Congress is aimed at academics, researchers, educators, teachers and students, managers, and school principals, covering all levels of the formal education system and informal contexts of teaching and learning. As such, it is an open space of participation for all those interested in contributing their reflections, studies and proposals that can help to rethink a world marked by uncertainties.
