Education for Population and Development in Brazil post-ICPD+25

The Special Program UnB 2030 on inclusive and sustainable development, working on the 2030 Agenda and SDG implementation on Brazil is able to draw on demographic diversity to achieve sustainable development, by investing in the education, of adolescents and youth, especially girls, so as to fully harness the promises of the demographic dividend. At the same time, it will help to build peaceful, just and inclusive societies, where no one is left behind. On one hand, creating spaces of debate on Population and Development related to diversity and intersectionality on gender, race and sexuality, connecting both domestic and international politics, is a manner of addressing local authorities and social movements. The main idea is to help to influence local policies formulation to truly taking in account ICPD values, ideas and principles. Likewise, it intends to promote an education on Population and Development changing the syllabus of IR curses in Brazil, developing learning activities on secondary schools, inducing a new generation of decision makers conscious of ICPD transformative power.
