Marist Union of Brazil – UMBRASIL
From 11 to 14 October 2016, the Marist Union of Brazil – UMBRASIL will promote the 5th edition of the International Marist Education Congress, at Pernambuco Convention Center in Olinda, Brazil. The event will gather around 3,000 educators and Marist managers as well as professionals from other systems and public and private education networks, along with entities associated with education, guests, partners and academics in order to discuss and enhance the promotion of the right to quality on integral education and academic excellence.
Since 1996, the Marist Congress on Education has been a distinguishing feature in the promotion and organization of educational events. We had the opportunity to discuss, in the four previous editions, relevant themes of the school routine as: Education in the 21st Century, Education and Citizenship, Educator Role in the Knowledge and Space Society, Time and Horizons in the Children and Youth Education.
For 2016 UMBRASIL is preparing meaningful content and that address the theme "Quality Education: senses, experiences and horizons." Thus, Congress is organized in major conferences and simultaneous activities – where each panelist will make the choice of subject – communication of scientific papers and problem situation rooms.
On the official opening, to be held on the evening of October 11, will have the musical of Antonio Nobrega, in honor of the renowned Brazilian playwright and poet Ariano Suassuna. The complete program and registration are available at: www.congressomarista.com.br.
The participation, formation and exchange of experiences among Brothers and Laity of the Marist world will make of the event an even more special moment.
