VI International Week on Education, Human Rights, Sexual Diversity and Gender & IV National Conference on Human Rights

Organized by the Human Rights and Education Project, the event serves as a platform for interdisciplinary and international collaboration dedicated to the discussion, analysis, and production of knowledge in the field of human rights, with an emphasis on the relations between education, sexual and gender diversity, and contemporary social dynamics. The initiative is structured around dialogue among various fields of knowledge, promoting engagement between academia, social movements, and other sectors of civil society. The event is aimed at researchers, activists, educators, and all those who support the central role of education in processes of social construction and in combating inequalities. By bringing together individuals from diverse backgrounds and contexts, the meeting seeks to foster the exchange of perspectives, the sharing of experiences, and the development of critical interpretations regarding current challenges intersecting with human rights. The program consists of keynote lectures, panel discussions, and paper presentations, organized to encompass diverse theoretical and methodological approaches. The submission sessions offer a prominent space for both ongoing and completed research, contributing to the strengthening of academic and social networks and facilitating the international and national exchange of scientific work. Throughout its previous editions, the event has gathered participants from various regions and countries. In its 5th edition, the event recorded 237 registered participants and 141 paper proposals, with representation from all Brazilian states, as well as countries such as Colombia and Scotland. The 4th edition included 182 registered participants, featuring representatives from the United States; the 3rd edition attracted 248 participants; the 2nd edition had 223 participants; and the inaugural edition registered 185 participants. The continuity and growing participation throughout successive editions demonstrate the consolidation of a space for encounter and knowledge production that connects different actors and contexts around the relations between education and human rights. In this sense, the event is configured as an open forum for participation, dialogue, and the collective construction of reflections and practices.
