The focus is on avoiding the dissemination of prejudices and misconceptions about the topic.
The university also emphasizes the importance of articulating scientific knowledge in decision-making and positioning.
According to published information about the activity, the course is aimed at basic education teachers, popular educators, members of social movements, and students of degree programs in Natural Sciences and related fields.
