Simpósio Internacional 2023 | Simposio NCPI
Com o tema “Políticas públicas para um Brasil de infâncias plurais”, o X Simpósio Internacional de Desenvolvimento na Primeira Infância vai debater a implementação de políticas públicas voltadas às crianças de 0 a 6 anos com qualidade e em escala, além dos desafios para o enfrentamento das desigualdades – regionais, étnico-raciais e socioeconômicas – que afetam a pluralidade das primeiras infâncias brasileiras.
O encontro acontece em 25 de outubro de 2023 no Brasília Palace Hotel, em Brasília (DF), e terá três formas de participação:
Presencial (sujeito à disponibilidade de vagas)
On-line (individual)
On-line em “simpósios-satélites” – transmissões simultâneas para grupos, organizadas por instituições de todo o país de modo independente.
Sobre o Simpósio
Desde a sua criação, em 2011, o Simpósio já mobilizou mais de 20 mil participantes ao longo de 9 edições em diferentes capitais brasileiras. Sua programação é marcada pela presença de renomados palestrantes nacionais e internacionais de importantes universidades, organizações não governamentais e instituições públicas.
Sempre partindo do conhecimento científico, o Simpósio aborda temas relevantes sobre o desenvolvimento da primeira infância buscando sensibilizar e mobilizar lideranças públicas para a qualificação de políticas públicas dedicadas às crianças pequenas brasileiras. Por isso, o público prioritário do evento é formado por tomadores de decisão que atuam em diferentes esferas de governo, especialmente nas áreas da saúde, educação e desenvolvimento social.
