Meeting of the Culture, Education, and Technologies Debate Cycle discusses literacy for digital citizenship

The event will feature the launch of the TIC Education 2018 and TIC Kids Online Brazil 2018 publications

The closing meeting of the Culture, Education, and Technologies Debate Cycle will discuss literacy for digital citizenship on November 5th (Tuesday) in São Paulo, organized by the Regional Center for Studies on the Development of the Information Society (Cetic.br) of the Brazilian Network Information Center (NIC.br), Sesc São Paulo, and Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo (PUC-SP). Entry is free, and those interested must collect a ticket one hour before the activity at the theater hall of Sesc Pompeia (event venue).

On the occasion, the publications of the surveys TIC Education 2018 and TIC Kids Online Brazil 2018 will be launched, along with the second volume of the Culture, Education, and Technologies in Debate publication, which gathers the debates held in the first half of 2019. Based on the data regarding the use of ICT in schools and by children and adolescents, the meeting will deepen the debate on the critical appropriation of technologies, with the participation of Alexandre Barbosa (Cetic.br manager), Danilo Miranda (Regional Director of SESC-SP), and Fernando Almeida (PUC-SP professor).

In the main activity of the meeting, international speaker Cristina Ponte (associate professor at New University of Lisbon) will give a conference moderated by Patrícia Blanco (CEO of Instituto Palavra Aberta). Cristina has been coordinating the Portuguese team of the European network EU Kids Online since its inception in 2006 and is part of its management. Issues such as the development of reflective and analytical reading skills in the context of digital culture will be addressed by the expert, in addition to the roles attributed to education in supporting the formation of individuals and society.

The data from the launched surveys will serve as a basis for the debate. TIC Education 2018 indicates that 57% of students say that teachers advised them on which websites to use for schoolwork and 51% received guidance to compare information on different websites. Complementarily, TIC Kids Online 2018 reveals that 74% of connected children and adolescents research the Internet for schoolwork, 63% conduct research out of curiosity or their own initiative, and 53% read or watch news online. “Literacy for digital citizenship is becoming increasingly relevant, as most of our young people use social networks and consume multimedia content on the Internet,” emphasizes Alexandre Barbosa.
