Call for Papers

The purpose of the Congress is to promote discussion and reflection on the (re) construction of full citizenship in the context of the problems of today’s society. Citizenship, based on the ethics of human relations, guarantees respect for the dignity of human beings, sustainable and sustainable development, social justice, peace and happiness. In the era of technologies and the information society, the concept of citizenship presents itself today as an emerging problem. Citizenship lacks an ownership by decision-makers, political and religious leaders, communities, educators, nations and citizens of the world, for the successful realization of the irreversible process of global citizenship.

The discussion and reflection on this subject, through studies and research works, is an opportunity to produce, disseminate and transfer scientific knowledge that may help to face new challenges and threats.

The conference is aimed at academics, researchers, educators, teachers and students, managers and school principals, covering all levels of the formal education system, as well as 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.

This congress will have a periodicity of 2 years.
