The International Meeting on Educational Practices in Museums and Science and Technology Centers (EnIPEM) - Climate Change on the Agenda is the second edition of the Meeting on Educational Practices in Museums and Science Centers, held at MAST in 2018, but now in an expanded version - with international coverage, and with an urgent thematic focus: the changes Climate.
Although the impacts of these changes are regionalized, it is a global problem that has guided museums as indispensable institutions for the debate, whether due to the importance of its collections for the understanding of phenomena, or for the potential of its differentiated language to arouse people's interest in socio-scientific themes. But how have museum education and scientific dissemination in S&T museums, in particular, contributed or can contribute to the training of citizens on the subject? What are the particularities of its objectives, methods and materials that can be made available in the context of climate change?
The event aims to provide continuing education, the exchange of ideas, experiences and references, the collective construction of theoretical-methodological assumptions, the centrality of the challenges and potentialities of the area of Museum Education and Scientific Dissemination for the solution of socio-scientific problems at different levels of scope, the recognition of the specific role played by professionals of scientific dissemination and museum education in museums and S&T centers, the subsidy to the development of public policies for the area.
It is organized by the Coordination of Science Education, of the Museum of Astronomy and Related Sciences (MAST), in partnership with Espaço Ciência Viva (ECV), Museum of Tomorrow, Museum National Museum (MN/UFRJ), Science and Life Museum (MCV) and Botanical Garden Museum, in addition to the support of the Brazilian Association of Science Centers and Museums (ABCMC) and the Climate Heritage Network (CHN), with the Assistance for the Promotion of Scientific, Technological and/or Innovation Events - Arc of CNPQ - Cnpq Call No. 39/2024.

About the event logo
The creation of the logo seeks to represent the idea of movement, transformation, and changes related to the environment and climate issues. The round and inclined figure refers to the Earth, whose surface is represented in textures applied to the form. The colors, which range from the coldest to the warmest shades, express the rise in temperatures observed over the last decades on the planet, culminating in the so-called "global warming".
