Objectives

The main objective of this Congress aims to help promoting “Education for Risk” in order to prevent the consequences and minimize the damage caused by its manifestations.

In fact, education is one of the most important and powerful tools in the construction of new concepts, in changing habits and in the promotion of intergenerational dialogue, as such, it plays a fundamental and structural role in the implementation of mechanisms that lead to better prepared citizens and more resilient societies, contributing to the growing awareness of risk and danger perception. The promotion of a safety culture represents a cross-cutting challenge to society, by involving not only the educational and scientific communities, but also the agents and institutions of civil protection and emergency, and in particular all citizens, in their individual and/or collective actions.

Recipients (target audience)

Experts, teachers, technicians, students and other professionals, national and international, whose interest focuses on the conceptualization and risk analysis, on the prediction, prevention and mitigation of the consequences of disasters or on case studies of risk manifestations, as well as participants from the various domains of education, with the purpose of putting in practice an active citizenship with regards to risk prevention and mitigation of consequences at the time of their manifestation.

The Congress wishes to receive participants from anywhere in the world, but is particularly dedicated to the experts of the Ibero-American Community and the Community of Portuguese Language Countries.
