The purpose of the conference is to enable public managers, entrepreneurs and experts to discuss the experiences of successful mobile learning in other countries, as well as to discuss good practices developed in Brazil and the challenges for the future identified through Columbia University's study on the implementation of mobile technologies in public education in Brazil, to be launched on the occasion of the conference.
With activities scheduled to take place on the 12th and 13th of August, the event will bring together prominent experts, including Columbia University faculty, representatives from the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB) and UNESCO, as well as representatives from the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Communication, and the National Fund for Educational Development. In addition, representatives of the Federal Legislative Branch, Departments of Education at municipal and state levels, telecommunication companies, entrepreneurs from education startups and NGOs focused on ICTs (information and communication technologies) in education.
