Interested parties are divided into three main groups:
- Group 1: Teachers and managers from the public Basic Education network in service.
- Group 2: Teachers and managers from the private Basic Education network in service.
- Group 3: Basic Education professionals who are not in the previous groups.
The modules address relevant themes for the Brazilian cultural diversity, from a historical overview to strategies for democratic management for diversity.
Course Structure and Content
The course will be organized into four main modules, covering everything from historical introduction to educational practices focused on diversity. See the modules below:

What Will the Virtual Learning Environment Be Like?

With technical and logistical support from the universities, the course reinforces accessibility for professionals from various regions of the country.
